Ah yes, the traditional IE6 bugs... I can't tell you how many hours I've spent with those workarounds. IE6 reads certain CSS elements a bit differently, especially padding. It's always referred to as "the box model" IE6 treats padding css elements differently than every other browser. Here's some good info:

On the other hand you could ignore IE6, it's fairly old and the percentage of folks using it these days is fairly small.

Hope this helps

ginak59 is right but you can still get over this problem by customizing css for different browsers I mean load a Ie6 customized css if your site is opening in ie6 you can do this by monitoring the get or post data requests
or look at this

I whole heartedly agree. IE6 is quite old and most people are not running it. That being said there is a solution to the problem. Microsoft has created a little routine that is just like one line of code that goes in the head section of your page. Basically it looks at your browser and if it's IE6 it loads a different style sheet. You basically make a copy of your style sheet and then edit the copy (with a different name of course) so that it displays correctly in IE6. Now whenever you load the page in IE6 it will display correctly.

I'm sorry to say I don't know where to get the code right off hand. I always have to go look it up whenever I run into this issue.

Thanks

OK, I looked it up. Here is the code. It goes in the head section of your page and of course you have to create a different CSS file.

Code:

<!--[if IE]>
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="all-ie-only.css" /> 
<![endif]-->

You can find out more about all the options available here...

I should probably point out that the "href" value needs to be the path to your CSS file.
