Internet Explorer **sigh** Background image issues

[DivaVocals]

I could use a hand from the CSS experts here..

As usual my old friend Internet Explorer is acting up. I have the following in my stylesheet

.centerColumn {
    background: url(../../images/SexyPink/content.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: bottom;
}

The background displays correctly in Firefox. However, in IE, the background displays unusually in certain places.. Most notably these pages:
Category Displays (background doesn't extend all the way down correctly) - http://clients.overthehillweb.com/my...=index&cPath=1
Custom defines pages (bottom of background is cut off) - http://clients.overthehillweb.com/my...=paymentpolicy
Category product listing page (the pagination and item counts display on top of or just outside of the background)- http://clients.overthehillweb.com/my...ex&cPath=16_81

I don't want to dump the background (my client really likes it), but I am at my wits end as to why IE is not displaying correctly.. (Did I mention how much I dislike IE lately???)

So I did a little experimenting and discovered that I get the same display behavior in Internet Explorer if I use a border instead of a background image.

.centerColumn {
    border: 5px solid #cacaca;
}

I wonder if one of the common IE hacks would do the trick? Have you used them anywhere else? Google for "Holly hack" and you'll find tons of info. But the general idea is that IE sometimes has to be forced to make it get the height correct on some DIVs.

Here's a link which explains several methods to fix this kind of problem.

There's also a download somewhere (maybe in the Free Add Ons?) dealing with IE-specific stylesheet issues.

HTH
