Hi Peg,

IE6 being the fragile kid on the playground these days is rather 
sensitive to HTML errors when rendering pages. You have an extra closing 
div [1] in there somewhere which is probably throwing off the DOM tree 
for IE6. The bigger kids are just making an assumption which is more in 
line with what you actually want, but ultimately, the less a browser has 
to assume about your intent, the better the page will display.

As a developer, if you have a Windows XP box, Multiple IE is really
useful for seeing these things. Be warned, some MultipleIE versions do
not 'exactly' replicate real world versions. But close is usually better
than having your customer report a site as broken.

It is your new task to try to get your site to work on as many browsers
as possible before the customer sees it ;-)
