Just wanted to let you know that I am aware that the site is not displaying properly for Internet Explorer users at the moment. (The sidebar is pushed to the bottom of the page.) This might have happened when I upgraded to ExpressionEngine 1.4, but I’m not sure. Not being terribly cross-browser-savvy myself, I have bribed one of my colleagues at work into helping me figure out what is wrong. (The page seems to display just fine in both Firefox and Safari.) We’re working on it. In the meantime, the sidebar is still functional for IE users; you just have to scroll down to see it.
Sorry.

I’d wager a bet it is well-known bugs with IE and dealing with floated content. The typical manifestation is content adjancet to a floated item being blanked out, and appearing again by scrolling down and up. Yours has different symptoms, but the fact it is munged in IE and not Safari/Firefox makes it sounds in the same family of IE goofs.
I am not sure, but this might do the trick in your CSS file:
/* Hides from IE5-mac \*/
* html #leftcol { height: 1%; }
/* End hide from IE5-mac */

Turns out it was a border that needed to be 4 pixels wide instead of 5 pixels wide, but thanks anyway for the tip, Alan.
