Georg,
I haven't tested this yet since I'm at the day job right now but why would I 
need the margin style?

 I have a fairly simple header/content/footer layout except the height of 
the logo in the header is greater than the desired height of the header 
itself. My goal is to have the logo fixed in the upper left and the code 
in the #pageContent area to wrap around it.
IE6 will expand the header, so everything can fit inside. Change the
header-construct to make it work like in Firefox 

A couple of things needed:
1: give the page a standard doctype that'll even out
browser-differences. You are running them all in quirks mode at the
moment. I tested it with:
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;
...which came out just fine. 

2: Move the div id=headerLeft/div _below_ the pageHeader end-tag
and _above_ the pageContent start-tag. Change the address since it's no
longer inside the pageHeader, and make the style look like this: 

#headerLeft
{
	float: left;
	background-image: url(logo0015.gif);
	background-position: top left;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	width: 130px;
	height: 130px;
	border: solid 0px #9B1A0A;
	margin: -60px 3px 2px 1px; /* added */
}
...IE6 will play along just fine, and so will Opera, Safari and Firefox. 

regards
	Georg

Yes, that's what makes the whole thing work-- once you've made the
changes to your html-code. Those margins are repositioning the div back
to where it is in your original.
Just test and see.
