Hey i made this 3 column layout link using a very good example here however that one works perfectly in ie 6 and mine squishes and hides it all to one side. Both pages for demonstration have the full source code available to view using the show source in a browser.

Basically it would be nice to have a few folks ponder over it to see what i am missing that messes it up please.
 
Got it looking a wee bit better in ie 6.
