    Does IE6 have a problem with xhtml and how can i solve rendering issues.

    My website renders properly with newer browsers, but visitors using IE6 are having some issues.

    Any thoughts?

    suggestion:

    stop coding for IE6.. savethedevelopers!


    you can target ie6 and set specific styles using a script to find the browser or various hacks in your css code to do so aswell. doing the hacks will result in non-valid css from w3c, but will work just the same.

    cheers

    No version of IE renders XHTML served as true XHTML, but you probably aren't serving XHTML anyway. So IE interprets it as broken HTML or 'tag soup'. In any case, IE6 is one of the worst browsers on the planet and cannot be compared to modern browsers. There are so many issues that it's best just to give a link so we can see what the problems are.
