[css-d] gap in IE6 only

In Internet Explorer 6, this page has a huge gap at the top of the content. The other pages, which have the same header, footer and navigation (all in external files) don't have the gap. I can't figure out what the difference is. The html and css validate. Can anyone see what the difference is

http://www.biotext.com.au When I increase the text size in the browser (large or largest) in ie6, some of the pages on this site still get a huge gap at the top of the page. I thought it might be because of the really long text in links causing a non-breaking long line, but took them out and it s

This is so silly, I can't clear the logo in the print output. I did have it, briefly and only in Firefox, but then I changed something to fix it in IE and it's not clearing again. I can't see why the clearing div isn't working, since it works on the screen. Thanks Maren __

I can't get the proper right margin on the content div in IE6 - I've tried all kinds of things and have read the box model stuff but am still struggling to figure out what's wrong. I put it in a 'container' div with 100% width, as I want an elastic width. The css and html validate. Here is the

Thanks, Paul - I've got the font sizes working now and the gap has gone away. I tried various things with the wide table and in the end I think the problem was that I had a width of 90% on the table, and that 90% plus the margins made it more than the 100% of the div it is inside. Anyway, if I don'

Peter, > So if you remove the width and just give it left and right margins of 30 and 140 px what happens? See http://www.biotext.com.au/test0205/columns24.html - the border just stretches the width of the content inside the div. I tried your other suggestion at http://www.biotext.com.au/test020
