This is my first message here, please forgive me if it's trivial.

I'm working on this website, www.partnershipfca.com.  I'm trying to make the 
design CSS based (with some exceptions, it's a long road), but I'm running into 
a very frustrating problem with Internet Explorer.  The problem occurs on most 
of the content pages (no the home page), and example is here: 
http://partnershipfca.com/print_test.php .  

As you can see from the link I have a top menu, a page header area that 
includes the organization's logo and the page title which are both seperate 
images.  Then I have a side menu on the left (floated), a content area, and a 
column on the right for a search box, sub-menus and in the future, 
announcements and short blurbs from their clients.  The right column is floated 
on the right, the content flows around the right column. Below the content I 
have a footer.  

CSS wise, ignoring the top menu and footer (not of consequence here), I have 
the main area inside a main_container div.  That div is 100% wide and has a 
background image of the organization's logo.  Inside the main_container is a 
main_inside_container that defines the page.  The background is white and width 
is set to 760px.  

There is a page_header div, which contains the organization logo and the page 
title image, and the page title in text which is only there for printing 
purposes (display: none for the browser).

Below that I have the left_column div containing the left menu.  That 
left_column is floated left.  Next is the right_column which is a container for 
the search box and various items I mentioned above.  Then the content div is 
last, before the footer.  The content has a left margin of 190, the width of 
the left menu.  The goal is to have the content flow to the left of the left 
menu and flow around the search box and other items in the right_column.

That works right now.  The problem is that in Internet Explorer there is a 
white line running all the way down the side of the main area, to the right of 
the right_column.  It is displayed past the 760px width of the page area.  I 
thought this might have something to do with the IE 3px float bug I've read 
about.  I've tried many various fixes from around the net, but I can't nail 
down a working fix.  

This problem only occurs on pages with more than a few paragraphs of text in 
the content.  If the content is short, the white line doesn't appear.

If anyone can take a good look at the CSS and the structure of these pages, and 
can suggest a fix, I would really, really appreciate it.

didn't know if it would get dropped or not.  Forgive me if this is a repeat)
