It is *not* a bug. It's the W3C box model, and your source-code is
flawed so IE6 uses Microsoft's old box model - the one you have chosen
to style for.

You have already asked me about this off-list -- didn't you get my
response? Nothing has changed regarding your source-code flaws or the
box models in the last 24 hours or so, so just keep on correcting things
until Firefox, Opera, Safari and IE6(in Standard mode) agree on the
rendering.

The W3C HTML validator is a handy tool, and the first thing it will tell
you is that it can't find the doctype - because it is in the wrong place...

The CSS validator is also a good tool...
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.henryfelton.co.uk/oscarlayout/&warning=1&profile=css2>
...but it can't determine which box model you are - or should be -
styling for, so you'll have to figure that out yourself.

You'll have to take the time to learn the basics, and there's no way to
avoid the W3C box model...
