If anyone who knows a bit about cross-browser style sheets and has a few sanity points to spare could help, I'm offering a pile of karma and you can have the next Ministry of Silliness t-shirt dedicated to you.

My problem: on IE6, the pages of the site I am responsible for look crappy. (Big surprise.) However, there are still enough people using IE6 (especially here at the university) that I have to fix it, DESPITE the fact that there's supposed to be a complete site redesign "soon." (They've been saying that for over a year, now, so I think I need to just fix this.)

The main site is here: http://wsbe.unh.edu/
A good example of a problematic page is here: http://wsbe.unh.edu/graduate-programs

The content all gets shoved down below the sidebars.

All looks fine on FF (several versions) and IE7, of course.

I have Firebug and Xray on Firefox and these let me see where the CSS is going astray on that browser. Is there something equivalent for IE6? Can anyone take a look and make a suggestion? A wild-a** guess?

I HATE IE6!!!
