I think you want IE to behave like for this reworked example of your page...

Reverse engineering works best in such cases - make standard compliant
browsers simulate IE6/7 behavior, as described here...

In practice for your page, you simply replace existing styles for
#leftcontentcolumn with the following...

#leftcontentcolumn {
overflow: hidden;
background : #aaa url(images/valid-xhtml10.png) no-repeat scroll top;
}

* html  #leftcontentcolumn {
overflow: visible;
height: 1%
}

...and IE6 and the others will line up those columns just fine, and in
identical-looking ways.

The expression used (on #layout) is for quirks mode only, and makes IE6
in standard mode freeze, or rather go into an endless loop, at end-points.

Either force IE6 into quirks mode like I have done in the example page,
or choose one of the mode independent expressions described here...
