IE 7 looked great, Firefox looked great.... and of course IE 6 failed. I was so bummed! I swear, IE6 is the cause of so much wasted time and effort in this world it's not even funny. Thank you for posting this fix I'm just bummed that IE6 sucks so bad. Before reading the comments and after testing this fix I fell in love!!

However, I haven't noticed any way to make IE6 behave the way that it should... whether or not you specify transitional or strict, there will still be issues that need to be dealt with when attempting any sort of advanced layout.

True. However, I haven’t noticed any way to make IE6 behave the way that it should… whether or not you specify transitional or strict, there will still be issues that need to be dealt with when attempting any sort of advanced layout.

If you care about how it looks in IE, this technique is not enough. (Yes, it should be just this simple, but in reality, it's not.)

One thing I've noticed is that IE6 will only let it work if you specify the DOCTYPE. (more on that at http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html). In short, add this line to the VERY top of your page: < !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> and it should work just fine in IE6. Thanks again! Robert –
