Anyone encountered a bug with IE6 where you're unable to select text on absolutely positioned DIVs? Either it won't let you select or it selects the wrong areas?
Thanks!

if a div is not properly positioned (i.e, on top of another or under another layer), you *can't* select the text in it. Same goes for all browsers.

it's positioned above all other layers but still is happening.

Just figured it out. It's related to the DOCTYPE. If you set it to XHTML-Transitional it breaks in IE6 for XP. Otherwise if you leave it at just it works fine.
