This fix did not change solved the positioning problem between the
sidebar area and the content area in IE7 (or IE5-6 but those not my
high priority).
This fix solve one problem putting #content where it belongs in IE5-6.
Previously, it was stretched to the viewport.

Wow Alan. Sounds like you are writing a good CSS book. Any suggestions
to modifying my approach here that will have fewer issues? In it's
present state, I am just working to establish an optimum CSS layout
for a blog/cms with a static sidebar and a fluid body, header, footer

I am all for trying out a different technique here. I am looking for
the best approach possible for this blog/cms. This CSS will be a
workhorse for a schools website. I am surprised how challenging a
basic css layout still is cross-browser. But, it's what we have.

My 'Ohlone' CSS layout template is a child-theme of a wordpress theme
framework from themehybrid.com. That may explain some of the Markup
complexity which can be changed/over-ridden in the child theme. So, I
can simplify markup that way.
