I am working on an update to the website that I maintain. I am using the CSS tableless structure. In Firefox all is well. In IE6 (work computer; not allowed to install IE7) I get a problem where the text in the main content section is covered by the background color. I have tried all sorts of different adjustments and can't seem to get there. It does seem to work if I don't include padding-bottom to the content div. However, once I add padding-bottom: 20px; I start getting the strange behavior.

The page can be found at

http://www.rcbarnstormers.org/test/index.html.

I have validated the html and css using the W3C validators.

While I am not an expert, I do have experience building web pages for a few years. My ultimate goal is to pull this into a wordpress template.

Thanks for any help that you can provide: I bet it will be something simple.

It seems to be a "HasLayout" issue with the #main-container, and specifying a dimension here will fix that :
#main-container
{
width: 100%;
}


By the way, you are missing an "r" from the link you posted....

I edited OP's post to correct URL (added "r" to "barnstormers". Thanks Centauri. :)

Thanks for the quick fix. And thanks for catching the missing r in the address. The change did fix it up.
