Hey Hadley! Nice to se ya on the list.
That's a great css site, guy. In moz1 and Op6/Win,
excellent. But IE being IE, it needs pampering.
Specifically, the left column is static, and has a pixel
height. So, the other cols not being static, the footer
sticks up against the left col's bottom. In IE5 the
inclusion of the padding and borders in the 'width'
value makes that col too short, which makes the footer
interfere with the other cols.
This site covers it pretty well:

You can also try nesting the left col in a div, and
transfering the width/height, margins, and positioning
to that outer div. Do NOT give that outer div padding
or borders, but apply them only to the inner div.
