Hey Rich,
I think your problem is stemming from the absolutely positioned elements on
the page. Your getting a bottom scroll bar because your logo and image are
1190 pixels wide. I always make my page no larger than 800X600px because a
significant audience is still using that resolution. You can find
resolution and other stats here
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
I went through and quickly tweaked you site using the contact page. I
changed a bunch of stuff but some of the major changes were:
1) Merged the logo and the header image to make one image 750px wide
2) Removed absolutely positioned elements
3) Changed font to Arial; this is a personal
preference, I suggest comparing it to Garamond and see what you
like best
3) Simplified rules such as block
4) I've been playing with backgrounds lately and I thought of this
one when I saw your color scheme
I'm not sure this is the design you are after but it should give you and
idea what it's like to use relatively positioned elements.

Feel free to use as much or as little of it as you like
Peace

Subject: [css-d] IE6 on w2k: no scroll and mis-positioned elements
> I've just put my completely re-written site on the public httpd server
> <http://www.appl-ecosys.com/> and received a report from a friend running
> w2k with ie6 that long pages do not scroll and two page components (along
> the left side) overlap components to their right. I find nothing on google
> searching for "+css +ie6".
>
> This does not show up in firefox-0.9.3, mozilla-1.6, opera-6.54, lynx or
> links.
>
> On each page's masthead I have two images; the logo on the left. Both
> are
> positioned 'absolute'. on ie6 the logo slides over the right-hand image.
>
> In the middle part of the page I have pull quotes
> (<blockquote>...</blockquote>) on the left and they slide over the page's
> data content block on the right.
>
> Pages longer than his browser window size do not scroll; they're
> truncated.
>
> Is there anything I can do to accommodate this combination? Or, should I
> tell him to bow to Microsoft's strategy and upgrade to their latest?
