In IE6 I found that the border disappears in a combination of style, tags and 
preceding text. 
In IE the border around a block item(p, h1,h2 etc) will not be displayed when 
the containing div has a width in percentage or pixels and a positioning 
relative, with some preceding text.
How to display the border?

*       Remove the content in the parent div (also an empty p will have this 
effect) and the border on the block item is displayed. (not really usefull 
though but you can test it)
*       Set width of the content style to auto and the border is displayed. 
(only usefull with a width of 100%(differs about 1 or 2 pixels with auto), and 
when you don't use a background color.
*       Dimension the block element for instance with the holy hack: * HTML 
.bordered{height:1%}
*       Remove position relative in container

Here is my example:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>border test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css" title="text/css">
.content {
        position: relative;
        width: 100%;
}
.bordered{
        border: 1px solid #8AC;
}
</style>
</head>
<body >
<div class="content">
    content in 'content'-layer
        <div >
                <p class="bordered">This should be a block element WITH 
BORDER</p>
        </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
