The font-size for the dark-on-dark text is hard for me to read, so I increased text size by just a notch-- and the whole page collapsed. May I suggest you use one of the tried-and-tested layouts at Layout Gala? - http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/ FWIW - Text-size at default 12pt size displays at 20px on my old IBM laptop. Your 14px displays an "em" at 14 x 14 = 196 pixels, or half the size of my default 20 x 20 pixels. BTW - Which IE? 5.5, 6, 7, 8, or 8 in "compatibility mode"? All different when in "standards mode" but all the same in "quirks" (more or less).

There are javascript hacks out there for you to try, but I've had mixed success with them. What I recommend doing it setting the background as a transparent gif that repeats itself the length of what you want to make see-through. This ~might~ work... no harm in trying. :-) Hope that helps...
