My sample pages behave as expected in Firefox, Safari, and IE5 Mac. However, when I looked at the sample homepage on IE6 the absolutely positioned "subnav" div was starting in the same place as the padding for the rest. On the agents page the subnav div is not allotting the top padding. The positioning aspect of CSS is fairly new to me so I'm unable to ascertain where I went wrong.

I did validate the code; my 7 validation errors all pertain to my embedded flash object. Will that cause a problem?

my IE6 completely craps out when trying to view your index page. it locks up and freezes. might just be me.

I think I've fixed my overlapping problem. Before I had the #subnav div inside of the #maincontent div (which had left padding of 210px). The page behaved the way I expected it to behave in Firefox and IE5 on both platforms as well as Safari, but put the absolutely positioned subnav (0 0) at 210 0. I pulled the #subnav div out of the #maincontent div and that SEEMS to have appeased the CSS gods, but could y'all check on it to be sure?
