 * What is the height of your gradientcontainer?
    What is the height of your background
   picture? What browser are you working in?
 * Also, there’s a discrepancy in IE6, as opposed to FF, and I’m not talking about
   your floating header. There’s a orange bordered box that sits at the very top
   of your page with some text in it. FF doesn’t have this at all.

 * I can only assume that this is telling me that IE6 sucks, and that I should get
   a better browser?

 * I don’t understand the reason for your question. You’ve got it working in the
   second example, why can’t you do the same thing again for the first?
