IE does funny things with floats. I would suggest using a more robust
method for 3 column layout.
Also consider:
- using font units for blocks that contain text i.e. the navigation
block. Things start looking bad after one Ctrl+ in Gecko and break apart
after two.
- specifying min and max width for the page body. When a page is too
narrow, you header graphics look weird with the bloke's picture being
overlapped by the blue square. When a page is too wide the reading the
main content becomes a pain in the neck, literally.
