[thelist] bizarre behavior in IE5/Win

 Hi y'all-
I've been lurking for a while, and absorbing great wisdom, but I've recently encountered 
an anomaly which has me utterly perplexed. Perhaps one of the Wise Ones on the list 
can explain what's happening. 

I recently revised and updated an existing site. I tested it on quite a few browsers, and 
everything was fine, or at least OK. After the new version had been posted for a few 
days, I started to receive reports of pages which were not displaying properly. In fact, 
these unfortunate folks were unable to access any of the catalog listings for the site. 
They could read the index page and the order page, but the guts of the site was mostly  
a bunch of blank screens. 

One site viewer emailed back, saying he'd upgraded from IE5 to IE5.5, and the trouble 
disappeared...or the content appeared, depending on how you look at it.

The site works fine in all of the browsers I have on my Mac: NN4, NN6, IE4, IE5, Icab, it 
even is tolerable on the WebTV emulator. It works fine on Windows in NN4 and IE5.5, 
but in IE5 the banners display and a few of the buttons display, a few more display 
when you mouse over them, but the actual content is just a vast expanse of white. 
When one scrolls down, then back to the top of the page, the stuff that had displayed 
has disappeared.
Can anyone figure out what's going on here??? The site is at:

            Thanx-
              Garth
