Using a basic negative margins framework, I've modified to get almost
everything to work across browser/platform land except for our ol'
friend IE6.

In IE6 only, the Contact Us area in the left column won't snug right
up to the right-hand content column. Thus, the background border
shadow effect breaks.  View in a standards-compliant browser to see
what it should look like.

Is this one of the known IE6 issues?  If so, I can Google the issue if
someone just points me in the right direction.

Also, on the light purplish blue content area, the bottom shadow
border won't show in IE6 only.  Again, after trying to target various
things with CSS changes, I am left without answers.

All in all, I do prefer this negative margin layout over the one I was
using earlier. The file sizes are smaller on both the HTML and CSS,
and I can now put the source in any order. I had been using an
expression to do the min/max width for IE6, but I think at this point
I'll just forget that "feature" for IE6 and let it be.  With IE6
numbers starting to fall, it's only a matter of time.

Thanks in advance for more tips.
