IE6 shows signs of the "missing Layout" bug, which affects layouts based on absolute positioning severely. For solutions - see 'hasLayout'... <http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html> ... for ways to work around that, and related, bugs. Note: the fact that your pages' HTML and CSS validates, doesn't make them comply with anything -- especially not with W3C standards. Transitional doctypes are meant for upgrading old "pre HTML 4.0" sites without completely rewriting them, and as an intermediate solution when one has to deal with weak CMS and/or the designers/ coders are too far behind regarding standards. Transitional doctypes are not meant to be standards for creating new "pre HTML 4.0" sites in the year 2007. You should at least try to mark up for a Strict doctype and make that validate, and make more proper use of elements, attributes and CSS properties/values. Another problem that makes validity -- and even the problems with IE6 -- more or less irrelevant in your case, is that your web designs live in a "print on paper" world, and can't take any stress on the web -- in any browser. You should apply some of your unique skillset to make your web designs work for able visitors and their browser- options, and not just for the disabled ones. That would help both able and disabled visitors a lot, and also probably reduce your cross- browser problems to a minimum. regards Georg ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
