Samuel, You snuck out an response as I was trying to organize my thoughts and text. I've not had oppourtunity to digest your response yet. I started with a tabled page created when the images was sliced up and rendered into a html page via image ready. So in essense, I started building the css from the top table row by turning it into a div. Why is everything set to relative? I don't know.  Why did I build it this way? Well, cause I wanted to see if I could do it at all................from image to css. I'm not a expert and have to learn one div at a time.
 
I will re read your reply and see what I can do as you suggested. Thank you too for your response.
 
Thank you for the help! John,
I think I am making my, thus your confusion worse. I apologize.
 
index page http://www.designbyatfb.com/temp-images/ut-web/index.html uses main-style.css with fixed heights for the middle area css: http://www.designbyatfb.com/temp-images/ut-web/css/main-style.css This page renders exactly right in IE 6 and FF 1.5.0.7
 
gucci.html  http://www.designbyatfb.com/temp-images/ut-web/gucci.html  uses the same main-style.css.  This page renders almost right ( except for a small space under last image on the right side #middlerightimage in IE the whole page falls apart in FF 1.0.5.7 (as I already know and stated this css is using set height, which I know is wrong here for this page).
 
gucci2.html http://www.designbyatfb.com/temp-images/ut-web/gucci2.html uses my initial more-style.css http://www.designbyatfb.com/temp-images/ut-web/css/more-style.css which is almost identicle to the first css, all I've changed is the set height to auto; for that middle area . This page is completely off in FF 1.0.5.7 and  IE 6.
 
gucci3.html http://www.designbyatfb.com/temp-images/ut-web/gucci3.html uses more-style3.css http://www.designbyatfb.com/temp-images/ut-web/css/more-style3.css , with your suggested css changes. This page renders almost perfect in FF 1.0.5.7 with a small white space to the right of the images. This page in IE 6 is dropping the right image div and cutting off the right side of the left text div.

Subject: Re: [WSG] set height versus height set to auto

IE <= 6 will expand heights to contain content. Other browsers won't. The 
reason why everything's getting messed up in FF & Opera is because of the 
set heights. Editing your CSS in FF, I made these changes and it looked OK:

#middlecontent{
}
#middlelefttext{
float:left;
width:298px;
color:rgb(0,0,0);
font:10pt "Trebuchet MS",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
text-align:right;
padding:0px 5px 0px 5px;
background:rgb(255,255,255)
}
#middlerightimage{
margin-left: 300px;
background:rgb(255,255,255)
}

Even on your index page, you probably don't need to set a height; just 
make sure whatever content follows after the image is cleared properly as 
the text next to the image is floated. (At default text size, the image is 
longer than the text anyway, so the the need to clear the following 
content won't appear as apparent until the content or text size is 
increased and becomes longer than the image.)
