In general the page is filled with issues and broken methodologies – not just in terms of layout but in terms of accessibility like the illegible grey text on white, px metric fonts on content paragraphs at a uselessly small size…
But under the hood? nonsensical/broken heading orders, endless redundant CSS, comment placements that could be tripping renderign bugs in specific versions of IE and FF, (yes, I said COMMENTS!)… in fact… hah, your comments could be tripping the ‘disappearing content’ bug in IE! Putting comments where they could end up between sibling level elements can make large sections of a page in IE and some versions of FF just ‘disappear’ – or worse, render twice slightly offset on top of itself (the ‘double render’ bug).
So step one, move all those comments INSIDE the tag being closed instead of after.
</div>
<!–end header wrapper div–>
<div class=“content-wrapper”>
It’s between them… comments like that could be your problem. There’s a reason I usually write my comments thus:
<!-- #header –></div>
Notice I don’t say end… really? </div> is the end of something? 
In general though the markup is gibberish – multiple H1’s, h2 preceeding the h1, endless wrapping DIV for christmas only knows what… Static CSS inlined in the markup, validation errors (admittedly nothing that would effect rendering, but still), the use of empty anchors with both name and ID to do what an ID on the parent wrapper could handle all by itself…
That it even has to resort to this:
<meta http-equiv=“X-UA-Compatible” content=“IE=EmulateIE8” >
To tell IE9 to pretend to be it’s sweetly retarded little brother… means the entire page is built with flawed methodologies… ESPECIALLY if you want it to work in IE6.
I’d say about… a fifth of your code belongs on the cutting room floor, maybe more. If I was writing that same page the HTML would probably go something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Though much of the page is filled with “not viable for web deployment” concepts like the menu, which forces you into a fixed width layout (and is hard to tell where anything begins or ends), etc, etc… I’d seriously be looking at a total redesign before even thinking about the CSS (or more specifically, while writing the CSS) to open it up semi-fluid and to make it possible to target mobile with media queries.
If I have time later when I’m at my workstation I’ll toss together the CSS I’d use to recreate what you have; though what you have is filled with issues and isn’t something I’d be putting online as a website.
