Or perhaps the rtl problem is just not solved yet, and nobody knows an answer. I do not. Could you please simplify your attempt, e.g. by using an /original/ layout by the generator http://www.fu2k.org/alex/css/onetruelayout/example/interactive and try to add dir="rtl". If you can make this work in IE6, then start adding new items. Otherwise, post this minimal testcase. I did try it in IE7b2, that's what currently installed here, and the trick was to move the dir from body to an inner wrapper of body. Of course, this did not work with your page. Again, simplify.
