I've started building a new template to get my main content section as
the first item in the source and solve some of my clearing problems.
Works great everywhere, except, now image this, Internet Deplorer. The
problem seems to be within either the "nav" or "subnav" lists that
follow one another. I've gone around in circles to no avail. The file
and CSS both validate and work on Safari, FF and Opera on the Mac
side. IE doesn't play on Windows or the Mac side. I'm not sure if its
my lists or the layout. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The files:

Wayne,
I'm sure someone will come up with all the hacks to make it work the way
you want. But if not, since your main content isn't the first item in
the source anyway, I'd suggest trying a stable 3 col layout that's known
to work cross-browser
<http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins/>. Put it in quirks
mode to make it easy on yourself for IE, adjust the widths of the side
columns to meet your need, add position relative to anything with a
negative margin(for Mac/ie5.2), and enclose the whole ball of wax in a
fixed width container-- tweak for Win/5x, and you're good to go... we'll
almost.
fwiw, check your current layout with images disabled.
Good luck.
