Just adding to the previous message,

The sidebar now works. This, however, seems to have come at a price,
the background image which I have applied to the html tag using:
html {
  background: url(../img/image.jpg) #000 top left repeat;
}

This no longer works in IE. Well, it works as in you get the black
background, but it doesn't work as in it doesn't read the image or
tile it. And it works in Firefox 1.5 on windows and linux.

At this point, I'm out of ideas. What could cause IE to not display a
background image applied directly to the html tag? I don't have any
other background applied later on to it, just margin cleanup and the
likes...

This just keeps getting weirder every day,
René
