Thanks for the help. Setting an explicit width for the .sidebar work
perfectly. The site now looks the same in IE 5.0x, 5.5 and 6. I can't
wait for IE 7 to come out :-P

Now to get the site so that it validate as xhtml transititional.
However, for this, I know exaclty what it wrong, I just can't seem to
solve it and still get the design that I want.

Once again, thanks to all that helped me with this, it is appreciated.
