It has the feel of the IE6 peekaboo bug, but I took a look at your page and
can't follow your CSS well enough to tell you any more. I suggest you
organize your CSS to make it easier to figure out what is taking presedence
over what. You now have a linked style sheet, an imported stylesheet with
some styles declared on it, which also imports a third stylesheet, and then
you have inline styles, plus some large sections in your stylesheets are
commented out and you've used similar-sounding but different styles like
"floatright" and "rightfloat", so it's enormously difficult to figure out
what is going on and which declarations might be over-riding other
declarations, and I finally gave up. :-)

I would suggest that you try to make it easier to follow by streamlining
your CSS, i.e. getting rid of the inline styles (since you already have
declared a class for those divs anyway, you can just move the rules into
your stylesheet), putting the styles from the second imported sheet back
into the main imported stylesheet to get rid of the extra stylesheet,
erasing the commented out sections, etc. That would be MUCH easier for you
or anyone else to try to debug this!!
