Hi Holly, this is indeed what is happening. The image on the right is covering 
the left image. I have put my offline test online now.

<http://css-class.com/x/tellura/>

The image on the #rightfauxcol div is now transparent gif. The only fix I 
applied to IE6 was.

#leftfauxcol, #rightfauxcol {height:1%}

These fixes are buried in the embedded in [if gte IE 6] conditional comments in 
the header.

Ian would you have happen to have download IE8 as an overwrite of IE7? If so 
those [if lte IE 6] will not be seen by your standalone version of IE6. If not 
remember to change the conditional comments from [if gte IE 6] to [if lte IE 6] 
or you will targeting IE8 as well. If you want to use conditional comments for 
importing style sheets for IE why not use just [if lte IE 7] and separate IE6 
from IE7 rules by using * html within the same style sheets.
