[Madlug] somewhat off-topic... making IE cooperate

[Douglas A. Whitfield]

Ok, let's turn it around.  Do they care what it looks like in anything
besides IE6?  What you might have to do is use some javascript to check for
the browser type and then do one set of CSS for ever browser that doesn't
royally blow and one for the other.  Of course, users can turn off
javascript, but how many using IE6 would do that?  I think this question
might be better posed at the Web608 group, which will be easy to sign up for
since you have gmail: http://groups.google.com/group/web608
