Thanks awesomely for all those who helped point me in the right direction.
After attempting innumerable hacks I finally found the one I wanted.
For those who are interested the problem was, naturally, an IE bug. The less
famous 'italic' bug to be precise.
Usually this bug only manifests itself in the form of containers being
widened to accommodate italic text. In this case it was forcing my main
content waaaay down the page and thus breaking the layout.
The solution (yet another added to the ever-growwing IE-override.css)
involves the Holly Hack with a twist. The hack gets applied to any div
containing the italic text (and, in this case, the immediate parents).
/* \*/
* html #middle { height: 1%; overflow: visible;}
* html #content { height: 1%; overflow: visible;}
* html #update { height: 1%; overflow: visible;}
/* */
Thanks again!
