Interestingly this did not work for me in IE6, until I tried it

doc type, and this code also does not work with transitional either.
There are no real differences between how 'strict' and 'transitional'
renders in IE6. Both makes IE6 switch into 'MSIE's *not* very standard
compliant mode' which MS refer to as 'standard compliant mode' for some
reason.
Defaults on a few elements are different in 'strict' vs. 'transitional',
but only in real standard compliant browsers.
So, as best as I can tell with limited testing, is that to work in
IE6 it must be in quirks mode. Luckily, I can work with this for now
on this project.
Good, since I forgot to add (quirks mode) to 'tested in:'.
I actually ran the test on the code just as I mailed it - without 'html'
& 'head' and everything. That's pretty quirks mode, but no browsers have
problems with it and IE6 is actually more standard compliant in quirks
mode, IMO. May have caused some mode-confusion amongst designers though
- sorry about that.
I also should have added that I always run IE6 in 'quirks mode', and all
good browsers in 'standard mode' - except when testing modes and
creating quick test-cases.
