I took a look in IE6 and I can't even see the skyscraper....

;)

however you probably have a width problem - try adding display:inline
to any floated div that has a defined width.

I see div centre has that too...

IE has an issue with width defined floated divs, sometimes doubling
margins, sometimes adding 3px to the width of the div.

if all your div widths are tight, then there won't be room for floats
to sit alongside each other...

my usual curing float drops link is broken, but you might find
something here:

but before you try hacking, try display:inline and check widths of
everything - make them all a bit narrower to test, add borders to
visualise...
