IE problems with CSS and div tags, 2 column fluid layout

Hello,
I'm against a wall here - can't figure this one out. Hopefully, somebody can save me....I'm new to CSS layouts, so if there are problems with this that I'm not seeing, feel free to let me know too.

This works fine in Firefox and Safari, but doesn't in IE. The navigation column doesn't show up in IE. See for yourself:

Thanks in advance,

I think you just need to set the background of #navtext

 

I've tried that...#navtext is just that – the text – and the div doesn't extend to the bottom. I have two background images - one in #navtop and one in #navbottom. I think my problem is with the positioning of the entire #navbg element. If I take out the "navtopimg" tag, the bottom of "navbg" starts at about 65px from the top of the window in IE.

 

I.E. doesn't like height: 100%; Be sure to make it a fixed height, or try a different method of a expandable height.

 

Do you have any ideas of how to do that?

 

set it to a fixed height
