Hi there, I'm on a PC XP sp2
I made some screenshots and put them here:
http://www.sanchothefat.com/dev/list-help/np/

IE6 and below do not support position: fixed; but there are alternatives:

I'm guessing you have giant screens/resolutions and the window 
maximised, the farmer (and his chicken) is obscured in every browser i 
checked. According to the latest browser stats most people are in 
1024x768 resolution now. Ideally you need to design for that but its not 
too bad, maybe set the nav background colour to white to cover it up?.

Its a bit all over the place, looks you have a background image behind 
it, inputs render slightly different across browsers. If someone has 
their default font-size set to anything above what you have there it 
overlaps, also in opera this affects the clickable area of the submit 
button, it just wouldnt highlight or respond so its being obscured by 
something.

See the IE7 screenshot, the main content doesn't flow up to the left of 
the boxes on the right.

Hope those screenshots give you something to go on, and try and avoid 
fixed pixel font sizes because IE doesn't resize them. Re-sizing the 
text on your page makes it look quite confusing too, the text in those 
fixed-dimension boxes on the right spills out. I'd get rid of any fixed 
heights but its up to you.

Take it easy,
Rob
