1: you're overstyling for IE6 :-)

The left column is the only element that shall be 'fixed' to the top...

* html #Lcolumn{
position: absolute;
top:expression(eval(document.compatMode &&
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop);
}

...and all elements inside it just follows - with no or minimal
margin-adjustments for perfect line-up.
It works the same way in browsers that understands 'position: fixed'
properly - only the container needs positioning.

I feel really stupid now. What a good fix! I was half going off the  
one I used for the Neil Parish site.

The elements 'fixed' to the bottom are correctly styled for IE6 - and
are just in need of some slight adjustments. Leave those till later.

It's difficult for me to see what is happening because I am a mac -  
without IE. However I have friends on msn that i  occasionally get  
descriptions and screen shots from. I can see that there is a gap at  
the bottom from these grabs - but as always - it's not like that on  
any of my browsers - and I don't understand.


2: you're running into the "endless scroll" that will always be a
problem when 'fixing' tall elements in IE6. Easy to see if you make the
browser-window shorter.
Note that tall 'fixed' elements will be a problem in all browsers since
what goes "off-screen" stays "off-screen" - out of reach, but the
problem is worst when we simulate 'fixed' in older IE/win.

Read the "large elements “fixed” to viewport" part in my article...
<http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_15.html>
...and see if you can manage to fix it at your end.

I had a good read of this article and understand and agree  
completely. I am maturing as a css writer - but unfortunately I have  
had no say in this project. I have had no say in it's look, or design.

Don't worry, it can be done...

I'm not too worried - except deadline for everything on the page  
except the data driven content is by the end of tonight. I have  
another job that I have a lot more say in how it is done and am  
looking forward to developing some solid css.

Oh yeh, I also made a post about jumping buttons - in rollover state.  
Did you see these too? Any ideas on how to fix them?

Kind regards, Chris
