It is incredible! But a lot of users are still stuck with it, so we
must support it.
Please send the modify images to me by private email.

Nice done!
I will split the css into pieces (this is what the beta pages was
doing) so it will be easier to hack.
I am going to add a ie6_fixes.css and add your stuff there. Thanks!

If it is possible I want to reduce the amount of javascript used.
I have seen the following tag used in beta pages:
<!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css"> body { behavior:
url(/style/csshover.htc); } </style> <![endif]-->
Do you know if it may help us?
I have experienced some troubles with GroupedLinks javascript select
boxes in ie6 too. You seem to know your way into this browser... Would
you like to check what is going wrong there?
Thanks a lot! :)
King regards
