fuck. it was released almost 10 years ago. tell him it's not your obligation as a developer to create shit for technology that was made a fucking decade ago. this is not your problem, it's his.

I kind of like it as it is. It's quirky.
Just make every page a big image with url's linked with maps. SOLVED!

We are starting to charge more for clients that demand the site works in IE6.

This is not far off. you need to narrow the 'the format' info block (class="whitebox_right"), until it floats properly. The problem may be due to excessive margin or padding, remember these values are all addative (+20 margin needs -40 width).
Is the flash two SWF overlapping? That's really lazy, no wonder you're having problems.
Same width problem as above affecting your floats for the SWFs.

need specifics here, like code and sample pages. there could be five million things that could be the issue here.
and, i'm sorry.

are you people responding to a month-old problem? i bet ntimm has already got it sorted by now.

don't give elements both a width and margin or padding.
- unable to agree with this statementidiots
- give a container width and contained elements horizontal padding/margin. instantly eliminate box model issuesacescence
- otherwise you will never get identical layout across all browsers unless you use conditionals and write rules for different browsersacescence
- specific browsersacescence
- Not true? Unless you want it to work in ie5.5?thatboyneave
- He's right. Display: inline can fix it, but I just nest divs, float the outer and add padding to the inner.welded

Think about adding a Global CSS Reset, Google Eric Meyer - theres one there. Sometimes that can help. It'll fuck up your page a bit at the beginning but when you make changes, its should show on all browsers
- i'll look it up, thanksntimm
- +1. The promblems you have will be double margins or elements being too wide, causing float drops in ie6thatboyneave
- So use a reset, then set all your floats to display:inline. And make sure no images or long lines of unbroken text are making containers too wide.thatboyneave
- ...making containing divs too wide too sit next to each other.thatboyneave
- a reset will make things easier but not solve all your problems. murdering all humans using IE6 will however.Samush

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck... i've spent a day kicking a design into shape to work on iefucking6 to the point its so fucking simple it couldnt fail on ie7 could it thank fuck i decided to check before doing all the pages because oh yes it does fucking fail fuck fuck fuck fuck wheres my fucking flamethrower i fucking hate microsoft and all their fucking inept socalled engineers why cant they fucking do their job properly the fucking cunts gaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck you microsoft you fucking fuckers
- Use conditional comments for IE-only stylesheets if it's causing that much trouble.welded

likely the absolute positioning bug. redefining those elements in a conditional stylesheet for ie 6 as relative sometimes fixes those issues.

Seems like the IE6 double margin bug...
try "display: inline" in every floated element

Why is your client trapped in 1998, or whenever IE6 is from?

IE6 can go fuck itself, sorry I just had to get it out there, carry on.
