    The wonderful world of IE6. IE6 is an outdated browser that unfortunately doesn't work quite the same as modern browsers when it come to layout. It has a little different idea of the box model.
    The dilemma is that there are still many who are using this old browser, which makes designing around it a near must.
    The way I work IE6 is to attach an IE only style sheet that target browser earlier than IE7 like so:
    
    <!--[if lt ie 7]>	
    	<link href="css/ie6BugFixes.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <![endif]-->
    
    HTML:
    Then I start going through and fixing all the bugs.

    Here is a link that lists several of the common bugs in IE6
    http://css-tricks.com/ie-css-bugs-thatll-get-you-every-time/

    You might also do a search for the 3 pixel margin bug. It's a very common cause of float drops.

    Usually it just takes a bit of fudging here and there to get IE6 to behave.
