Before you start pulling your hair out, I'd advise a revision of the
source-code. It's too messy at the moment to bother to debug for
cross-browser reliable rendering...

The stylesheet is also in need of some clean-up it seems...

I don't know whether you need to use a table, or not, for that line-up,
but once you have fixed the source-code and CSS a bit, you can worry
about how to use clear on the table without clearing the sidebar and
having to compensate for that.
It's a case for 'hasLayout'[1] triggers and 'block formatting'[2].

Simplified styling is even more important, as many of the
properties/values, and elements, you have used serve no purpose other
than to complicate things without making much of an impression on any
browser.

It may turn out somewhat like this...

...once you have finished the clean-up.
The test-case I've provided is what I got when I let my Tidy (with my 
own settings) have a go at it, and Tidy just cleaned out enough to make 
it work and become somewhat valid, and changed the doctype to reflect 
what was left. That's not enough.

> Also, doesn't IE 6 see PNGs?

Not without its proprietary filters.
(I didn't bother with those for a test-case like this, so pardon my 
substitutes.)
