Author Transparent gif screws up display.

Now this is just weird. And yes, I validated the html and the stylesheet.

I created a transparent gif image in Paint Shop Pro 7. I made the mistake of making a
transparent png and went along merrily until I viewed the pages (it's a multi-page three and
two column site with an underlying stylesheet) in IE6. The transparent png worked fine in
Mozilla but broke IE6. Sooooo, I recreate the image as a gif and it seems to work just fine
in both Mozilla and IE6. That is until I refresh the screen in IE. Then for some reason the
entire center column just disappears.

That's weird but it get weirder.

If I switch pages the center column returns. That is until I refresh the screen. Then bye-
bye. This happens on each page.

The transparent gif is on the top of the left column and the column is set to overlap the
masthead. The center column has a light yellow background to offset it from the white
backgrounds of the left and right columns and is usually filled with black text. All this is
setup in the stylesheet.

God, I hate IE
