Nice Design! Site looks great in FF3! It does break in IE6: #blurb is too far right, and pushes #sidebarRt down the page. I checked your IE.css file and yes you do correct the hasLayout issue but there are always issues with floats in IE. It might be worth using the conditional CSS to play aro

In this instance I have to agree with David. At least one of the DIVs doesn't have an end tag and you've used absolute values to fix the layout location meaning it doesn't work at lower resolutions. I would strongly recommend re-writing the layout to make life easier for yourself! Refer to
