I have a quirky IE issue that I've run into a wall debugging.  My  
page has an absolutely positioned logo and navigation bar at the top  
of the page that disappear when text in the content section gets too  
wide.  Setting an explicit width on the main text fixes the problem,  
but I don't understand why.  It doesn't seem to me that I should have  
to set an explicit width on the text, which is nested inside an  
element with an explicit width.  Any insights would be greatly  
appreciated.

Here are the relevant files:

www.cdfwebsolutions.com/styles/core.css
www.cdfwebsolutions.com/home_ie.html
www.cdfwebsolutions.com/home_ie2.html

home_ie.html and home_ie2.html are identical, except that home_ie2  
has an additional style in the head setting the <p> elements in the  
content div to be 339px wide.  In IE 6, the masthead area does not  
display on home_ie, but does on home_ie2.

I'm guessing that somehow my content div gets too wide and affects  
the parent div ('sheet'), throwing off the masthead elements which  
are absolutely positioned relative to it.  But I don't understand how  
this is happening.

Thanks in advance for any help!
