One thing about floats is if you look at my css:

The total pixels of the fixed width of the container must equal not only the total of all the widths of the 3 columns but the margins to. These are pixels outside and must be added. IE 6 has a bug that requires you to make the container i believe a bit bigger than the total you come up with.
I think you should make it 20-50 pixels bigger than the total to make IE 6 happy.
You will see what i mean by looking at that css.

Not everything is in the index.php file. A lot of things are in the templates functions file in the includes folder i believe. I can’t remember offhand. However a lot of output settings can be changed here that not many people no about. For example look what I did with the archives on this blog thats not finished yet. I used the drop down function that is built in.

Original soon to be replaced with the new one is here:

line-height: 1em; or you can go by decimal
line-height: 1.4 or 1.5em should float your boat but mess around with the numbers.

You can modify the template_functions file too forget its name but you can tell the system to use some other interesting functions. You can also modify how it outputs data such as the outlines in the navigation. The CSS file is also something that you would want to modify to fit your needs. Keep in mind you should have a lot of experience before diving into the templates file!

Could you post a link so we could see the problem at hand. My guess is you didn’t close a tag in your code. Example <div></div>
