Hi all -

I tried to send this a few days ago, but I think I inadvertently sent it as 
rich text. D'oh. Anyway...

So, I've finally decided to take the plunge and leave my beloved table-based 
layouts behind in favor of CSS based layouts. I'm also trying to learn 
Dreamweaver at the same time, so the whole process is doubly confusing.

Anyway - I've put together a test layout that is the basis for a nonprofit 
site. It looks fine in IE8 and the newest versions of Firefox and Safari - but 
when I look at it on my work computer (we're stuck with IE6 firm-wide), the 
thing 'splodes. The right (main) column drops down below the left column. I'm 
not sure what it does in IE7.

I'm sure that this is a common problem, because I see it often while surfing 
with IE6 on my lunch hour - but none of the Google searches I've tried re: IE6 
CSS conflicts seem to return anything useful. I must have my search terminology 
wrong, because it does seem like a common issue.

I did see the info about IE5 in the Wiki, which I will try if I get time today 
- but I'm not sure if it's applicable. We'll see.

Here is the site: http://trixmeauj.webuda.com/
The CSS file is here: http://trixmeauj.webuda.com/styles.css

...and anything else that you see that I've done wrong or that could be done 
less stupidly, please feel free to critique. I am determined to make CSS 
layouts make as much sense to my brain as table-based layouts do. (I suspect 
that ditching Dreamweaver might help in that regard, but I really need to learn 
how to use it....)

Thanks in advance for any info - Alison
