Re: IE6 again

Sounds to me like a float-margins problem…IE6 (for some wierd reason) doubles margins to floating elements.
What you can do is to make separate css style for IE6

for example, put in head of doc
<!--[if IE 6]> <link href="ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <![endif]-->
and in ie6.css make smaller margins to floating elements you have problem with.

Better solution is to give
display:inline;
to all elements that are floating (except for those you not having problem with like menu, etc.)

This is why I’m always using some css framework, like 960 or blueprint. it saves you time and nerves ;-)

hope this helps

display:inline; didn’t help.
cut down the the fourth column width on 5 pixels and it helped
