Sure, you've come to the right place. You're all over the world now.
We love to kill those IE-Whatever bugs whenever we get a chance. :-)
I'm a mac guy and my site< www.dognmoon.com > shows up fine in every
browser I can find for the mac.
Looking good on window-browsers too.
You might just improve the code/CSS slightly by using margins instead of
lots of <br /> to space text-paragraphs apart.
I'd love quick fix, but moreso, I'd love an explanation of what's
going wrong so I can either stop doing web design or do it right for
the next little while (until apps change again).
Quick fix first:
Change this code:
<div id="content-top"></div>
...to this:
<div id="content-top"><!-- --></div>
...since IE/win may get a bit lost when elements are empty. It's still
empty, but IE/win doesn't know that...
CSS:
#navbar {position: relative;}
#content-top,#content-middle,#content-bottom {float: left;}
...that makes everything line up nicely in IE6, and Safari, IE/Mac,
Opera and Firefox are also happy with it.

Many IE/win bugs are involved here, so no simple explanations -- but...
- IE/win has positioning bugs, so I changed it to 'relative' to keep the
layering -- without IE's positioning-offset. Many ways to fix that
offset, so I just applied the first one I came up with when I recognized
that bug.
- The rest was IE/win margin-bugs, and floating elements may *sometimes*
cure those problems. Floats may create new problems, so that's very much
a conditional fix for your page.
