Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone can help with some problems I'm experiencing. 
 I've pared them down to only the relevant markup and CSS and put them
on the web here.  The problems in all cases are only in IE, not
Firefox.

"Disappearing Text"
http://realty.colemanation.org/weird.html

In this one the text inside the DIV doesn't appear.  When there are
hyperlinks elsewhere on the page, mousing over them will cause this
text to appear, but I've extracted just the problem areas.

I'm mainly just baffled as to what could be causing this.  Any ideas?

"Phantom Line"
http://realty.colemanation.org/phantom.html

Here I have a few DIVs, each with a styled heading with a
border-bottom.  For some reason, the last DIV on the list shows a
phantom border on the page.  I was able to find a way to keep it from
happening (included, commented, in the test page) but it doesn't make
any sense to me as to why it happens.

"Unwelcome white border on the left side'
http://realty.colemanation.org/sidewhite.html

Here I've got a layout with a liquid main box in the center, which
expands to fill the browser width but for a 15px margin on the left
and right.  Inside the main box are my content div and a sidebar div
which is "float: right."  At the bottom I have a footer which is
"clear: both" for cases where the sidebar is longer than the content
text.

That's where the problem comes.  When the sidebar is longer than the
content, the main div's left margin disappears and the
background-color on the left disappears.

Many of the solutions I've seen for a sidebar involve positioning it
absolutely, which I'd like to avoid, if possible.

If anyone has any ideas about these I would love to hear them.   In
developing this site I began with a simple layout which I *thought* I
had tested appropriately, but I'm finding that must not be the case. 
Or else I've introduced some complexity somewhere that I shouldn't
have.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help. :)
