George,
Thank you for your suggestion, but it didn't solve the problem. Back to the drawing board.

Hey, Paula,

I had a similar problem last week and it was suggested that I add the
following at the bottom of the style sheet-

@media screen {
* html #wrapper {height: 0;}
}

which solved the problem.

My problem was, apparently, due to an IE bug, Lack of Layout, more
information on which is at the following-

Hope this fixes it for you,
George

If I float:left the #maincontent, I lose my background image because #wrapper has no
height.
