    All websites look the same on all browsers. Did you not know this?

    Sounds like the difference in sizes (the browsers interpret css size attributes differently) is making them too wide in IE to fit into the parent div, causing something to fall down. You could set a different size just for IE like this:

    #mything {
  width: 400px;
  //width: 350px;
}
    Code (markup):
    It's a work-around and I believe not the most advisable one. Standards-compliant browsers will ignore the second one, while IE will accept it and replace the width with 350px. Make sense?

    More info about how IE6 misinterprets the box model:
