New site: Won't play nice with IE6 only. ["Solved"]

I would be very grateful for some assistance with getting my new site to play nice in IE6. It works well in IE7 and Firefox.

See Three Loose Nuts

There are 2 problems with the layout of the right-hand, fluid column:

1. The bars over the title overlay the left, fixed column. In a previous incarnation, they overlaid the image upper right, but the solution produced the current mess.

2. The body text moves down to below the left hand column VARIABLY, depending on browser window size and resolution.

I have looked at many sites dealing with IE issues, and just don’t seem to be able to solve this one.

I have produced some of my page and form code below. (Pastebin does not seem to be working today)

Many thanks
Steve

Re: New site: Won't play nice with IE6 only. ["Solved"]

I finally solved this (somewhat) by using the Holly hack on the CSS. Seems to solve most of the problems.

My CSS was changed to contain:

/* \*/

  • html #c, * html #c_br, * html #cbr_m {

overflow: hidden;

o\verflow: visible;

width: 100%;

w\idth: auto;

he\ight: 1%;

}

/* */

Seems to work, mostly.
