There's a very good reason for that... Because you are using the xml prolog, IE is being forced into "quirks" mode rendering, not standards compliance mode - that is, you're making IE6 behave like IE5, with all of the buggy rendering. A good explanation of that is at: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=RenderingMode If there is *anything* at all, even a comment, before the doctype declaration, IE6 will go into quirks mode. In actual fact, Mozilla is behaving correctly. I'm betting that if you remove the xml prolog, IE will start breaking too. The reason why it's breaking is that you're setting the width of your breadcrumbs div to be 600px, and then setting the padding to 3px, which gets added to the declared width (making the div 606px wide, which is 4 pixels too many for the 602px container). IE6 in quirks mode (and IE5) calculate the css box model incorrectly by *including* padding and borders in the declared width. Other browsers (and IE6 in standards rendering mode) *add* padding and borders to the declared width. More info here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/box-model.html Actually, I would probably simplify your layout a little and attack the problem a different way, perhaps by removing the explicit widths on some of the elements and applying the right hand blue stripe to a container element. Your nav, top and texas divs are a little unnecessary as they only contain one element each - rather than having the #nav div with an unordered list, try losing the div and apply the id directly to the ul. I'm a little hungover right now, and the box model/quirks mode explanation above has used up most of my brain glucose so please excuse my lack of a better suggestion. Fix up the rendering mode issue and you'll be on the right track. I hope this makes sense!
