Site is destroyed in IE6

    I had never even checked this because my Windows VM has IE7, which does a (slightly) better job at things. I'm just shocked at how bad it looks in 6...

    If you have IE6 and can provide a screenshot, I would appreciate it. Tips on how to fix it would also be well received :)

    Guess you need to work on your counting: Do you know how to count? No h1 tag, but you have h2 tags. I would do some basic html validation on your site at W3C.org. That would at least get rid of some kinks. Your text size was not adjustable either in IE7

    Validate your page first by:

    1. Remove every language="Javascript".
    2. Remove every target="_blank:.
    3. Replace every <p><font size="2"> with <p style="font-size:2em">
    4. Remove every </font>
    5. Add "<!--" (no quotes) after every "<script type="text/javascript>"
    6. Add "-->" (no quotes) bfore every </script>
    7. Remove every border="0" - replace with style="border:none"


    That should clean up like 90% of it. Please keep in mind that is still not the best way to do things (inline styles) - I am not going to completely optimize your source for you.

    Keep in mind that I have not looked at your entire source, so I am probably missing something.

    In my IE6, your right sidebar is below your content section. Also, you must be using a transparent png for your logo because the background is light blue, not transparent.

    Yeah, thats what I saw as well. I'm willing to pay to have this fixed, I'm not asking for handouts :)

    Thanks for the advice thusfar as well!
