No problem in my standalone version of IE6, so I can't really test any
solutions either. Checking out your code though, I'd see what happens
if you take off the clear:both from the HR.pageEnd.
Most peek-a-boos occur with a combination of clears and floats,
especially when they touch.
For this layout, I would have written the HTML something like this:
http://locusmeus.com/temp/pugdog.html
Added the #inbetweenWrapper because it makes the floats behave better
cross browser (one of those things I still use after having had
problems in the past, only I don't remember which browsers caused the
problems).
Added the #content to get the text away from the clearing element at
the bottom of it.
If this all works to get rid of the probs on your client's IE6,
there's an added bonus: the <em> element can be Italic without causing
problems in my IE7. You'll have to check IE6 for this though, could be
different for that one.
