Barry -

Looks alright in firefox 1.0 on windows xp sp2, but the main content falls lower than the left menu in internet explorer 6. My guess is that you'll have to float #contents.

On another note, however, I noticed that your doctype of 'html 4.01 transitional' doesn't agree with your xhtml-style tags, such as '<br />'.

html 4.01 doesn't require that you close your tags, and when you do, the (wdg) validator complains: 'net-enabling start-tag; possibly missing required quotes around an attribute value'.

This doctype is also triggering quirks-mode in ie, which could be partly responsible for the inconsistencies.

See http://www.hut.fi/u/hsivonen/doctype.html for more on doctypes.
