Thank you Big John; issues 2. and 3. are now solved! But problem 1. (text
overflowing into the footer) is still bothering me. I should have mentioned
that it is an 'intermittent' problem...it doesn't always happen, but
typically it does. I think I've seen it happen in all three versions of IE:
5.0, 5.5, 6.0. Anyone know how to fix this?
I have a screenshot, http://scotthaefner.com/ie6.gif showing the problem.
