    Could you elaborate more on what the problem is in IE6? alignment? image load? etc etc :)

    I always found the easiest solution is to alter the CSS to work in IE6.. then save it as style.ie6.css or something similar, then add this line of code into your <head> tag (obviously changing it to your css filename for IE6)

    <!--[if IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" href="<"template.ie6.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->

    This should run the alternate style sheet should anyone be using IE6 to view the site, but still use the original CSS to load the other pages in other browsers

    I've tested with IE6 and the problem seems to be the menu, some elements (the dropdowns) don't work with IE6. I didn't look closely at the code but it seems a menu using the CSS :hover, so it won't work on IE6 unless you use a fix (search "htc hover ie" on google).

    The menu system you're using is incompatible with older version of Internet Explorer as IE6 does not support the :hover state on anything other than anchors. In this case, your stylesheet heavily relies on the li:hover state. There might be work-arounds or hacks available, but I don't know of any off-hand. It's usually better to work with anchors, setting them as block-level elements to ensure compatibility.

    Other than that, please get rid of the "no right-click" script. It's pointless. If I want to view your code, I will. You cannot protect HTML, CSS, or any client-side scripting for that matter.

    Good luck!
