The fixes are in subversion and will be making their way on to the
server soon I hope. Sorry for the delay. I appreciate that with that
problem still there it's hard to see what might be causing the other
problem.

Huh. So it is.

Good tip. It seems, so far (after just a couple of minutes testing), to
have worked. I'll try and get this rolled out onto the server as quick
as possible. I've not used the zoom property before. I added the
following rule to ie_lte6.css:
#header {
zoom : 1 ;
}
I'm guessing that that is what you meant.
Thank you so much for your help. I hope it isn't too much to ask if you
might have some idea of what was going on -- I do know about the
hasLayout property in IE, but I don't understand why the header somehow
was extending into the blocks below it and that that was doing something
weird to the rendering of its container's background. I've done a lot of
CSS work, and seem plenty of weird IE stuff before, but this one was new
to me. Thanks again.
Best, Darren
