    Reason - What i see is your HTML lacks a proper DTD [Doctype Declaration], so quite possibly IE6 is ignoring some of the CSS.

    Solution - add this to the top of your page :

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

    Do that and we shall see.

    Not using a doctype will not make IE6 ignore CSS but, yes, a doctype is always required for modern web pages. New web pages, however, have no need for the transititonal doctype and using a XHTML one is questionable. Use this one:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
