Viewing from IE6 ... there is an issue with the left side being below the right side nav ... I am sure this is a simple fix .. but for the life of me I can not figure out how to get everything to line up ..

See attached image via IE6 ...

Your left column's width must be showing as more than it actually is, in IE6. Meaning if for example you assigned it a width of 500px, in IE6 it may actually be displaying as 502px and as a result falling underneath the right column (since the parent container is set to a fixed width which totals less the the sum of the right and left column).

Try using an IE6 conditional comment to decrease the width of the left column (or it's padding) and see if that helps.

Do you have margins AND padding applied to the columns? If so, then you must understand the box model and margins and padding ADD to the overall size of the box. If your columns are floated, and you also have margins on the columns that go in the same direction as the float, like float: left;, margin-left: xxpx - then IE6 will DOUBLE that margin.

Why bother with IE6 anyway. The sooner we, as designers, stop supporting that crappy browser, the sooner it will be put into it's long-overdue grave!
