I am not sure what is going on here but for some reason the top portion of my footer is getting twice the necessary height when rendered in IE6. I have posted an example at https://www.msu.edu/~grossm51/sample/test.html . Any insight would be a huge help.

Thanks in advance, Ben

It's possible that you didn't insert height value of the element (probably div) below image.

The element below the image is not the issue I've tried with it set and without with no luck...

If you download the Microsoft IE developers toolbar you can make changes while you are viewing the page, that way you can see what works.

I am aware of this, I have tried everything that I can think of but I can't seem to get it looking the way I want it to.

Looks to me like you've got an element wrapping to a new line. Try reducing or hiding the divs inside #footerTop until you figure out which element is causing it.

I would also try taking the border off #footerTop and see if that fixes it since you have width:100%; specified on that div.

hiding the top right portion of the #footerTop div collapses the height to where I want it but then I can't seem to get things displaying the way I want and still have the blue on the right side...

Is it the border issue? Try reducing the width of the center and right divs by 1 or two pixels.

The border was not the issue. I was able to hide the upper right div, set the background color of the top center div to the same color the right div was, and set padding-right: 35px; on the top center div.
