Maybe I wasn't specific enough, this layout works just fine. My "main"
content (middle column) is first in the source code. When I hooked the
layout to my database all the clearing worked as promised. My problem
is in the <header> and specifically the "subnav" which, in IE, throws
the rest of the layout out of whack. The logo and main nav are fixed in
size, but I would like the subnav font to size up or down as the rest
of the layout does. My original layout was based on the article in ALA,
that's where I ran into my clearing problems since it also cleared the
left column and doesn't put the main content area first.
Again, the files:

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.
