If I remove position relative from the wrapper, everything goes back  
into place. It's really odd and only happens in IE6. I discovered it  
while working with YUI. It's being used in a CMS that generates the  
form. YUI creates a resizable text area that, unless positioned  
absolutely, is positioned relatively.
