Why not use just conditional css so that IE6 users can fallback on a different CSS. The key is not to make IE6 do the same as FF/Opera but fallback gracefully to a functional design (even if it's different).

The solution is simple, just need to get a CSS tag fro IE6fixes:

I use this technique for the wiki to workout most of the IE's querks.

Hi,

Now at test.openoffice.org you can login, search and change language using IE6. It is not as fancy as with the other, better browsers, but functionally it is the same. Since no-one else has been working on it, and we need to move forward, I believe this approach is good enough for now.

What is the solution?

Instead of presenting tabs, present links when browser = IE6. Instead of being able to search directly from each page, or login in... or change language in the near future, IE6 users will be directed to another page...

The current solution is just to make sure IE6 is not the show stopper, I would have liked to fix the tabs for IE6.

IE6 market share is dropping anyway... (though still substantial, twice as big as Firefox according to this source[1], IE 7 is more popular)
