Welcome aboard Fuzzylightbulbhead, as you can see direct links are not allowed so we can't see. But I have a feeling the page has problems on a fundamental level. For example,

#container #leftCol {
z-index: 4;
width: 340px;
float: left;
/* etc */
position: absolute;
}

You have position absolute but no position indicated. Second, you generally don't mix floats and absolute positioning, and although this may be possible is mixing two approaches and may give odd results depending on browser and version.

I suggest you post an anonymized version (remove identifying links, use example.com, and all identifying text, like "company name") of both the HTML and CSS. Don't code dump, reduce it to the smallest set of both that demonstrates the problem. Validate the code [validator.w3.org] before posting it, this will help . . . then members here can give you a solid solution that will be ( or close to) cross browser compatible.

Adding a z-index to logobox might help. leftCol's z-index:4; is probably putting it on top of the logo.

I and others might be able to help regarding the footer if you could post some (the relevant parts only) of your html and shorten your css down to the relevant parts.
