Move the HTML part of main div before the left div.

Ok great, i'll give that a try. Could you tell me why that would work?

I haven't been able to FTP it yet, but it does work on my local machine (so in theory it shouldn't be any different after upload)

Thanks for your help once again :)

but it brings me back to the "Why?" question... is the ordering of the divs really relevant?

</body></html>[/html]This works exactly as expected in IE6. Both the left and right menus are being displayed. The left was not getting displayed originally. But with this change, it showed up.

"Why?"

I'll be honest!... I've NO idea. Its IE!
