[css-d] IE layout blues

Hi, I am having trouble with several things in IE with a site I'm working on and seek some advice. I'm still grappling with a few areas of css so the issues may be simple, but I just can't see them! Please look at http://www.webanz.com/webanz_new/index3.php. Stylesheets:

I'd like to add my two cents to Kevin's suggestions. I've used IE Tester in the past and found it to be convenient, but it isn't always a perfect representation of how the various versions of IE will handle a particular web site. This is especially true when dealing with advanced cookies or

Hi David, Thanks for your input on this matter. I read the @font-face for IE article linked in your URL, and building an EOT font sounds like a hassle. In any case, Cufon is probably not going to be good for my use case, since there are SEO and copy/paste requirements. sIFR handles those better

[css-d] h3 with layout is clearing a float in IE6

We're trying to position a set of h3's and text next to a left-floated navigation list. Straight forward, right? However, we want the h3's to be clickable for some jQuery hide/reveals. We wanted the entire h3 background to be clickable, which in IE seems to require giving the headers hasLayout.
