It's all you :) I'm guessing the reason IE5 hides your headings is the
"top:1px;" in your #centreblock. When you absolutely position
something, it's positioned in relation to its containing block.

The browser is positioning this div 1 pixel from the top of the body
and your header sits over it thanks to its higher z-index value.

Looking at your document structure, consider using floats instead of
absolute positioning.

These two tutorials by Russ might float your boat:
