I have an issue with my site which needs to be finished by the end of this week, and unfortunately I am having difficulties modifiying my CSS for Internet Explorer 6 & 7 so things display properly. The issues include elements not displaying properly in the sidebars of pages besides the homepage, backgrounds won't display on those pages, and on the homepage my slider images are pushed down a bit. I already have the transparent png issue handled, so I don't need help there. I've found that backgrounds don't always display properly if the styles are not defined in the actual header of the document but are instead in an external stylesheet. As a side note, I'll also point out that the background for my search box on the homepage when viewed in Safari displays a grey block behind the button image.

If anyone is familiar with formatting pages to display properly in these browsers, I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions for fixing any of the pages in my site. My site is [link] Thanks.
