...and use, and mark up for, a proper doctype if you want IE/win in on

*no* IE/win version should be able to render that page at all with the

The "secret weapon" for making layouts work in IE6 is to provide valid,
sensible and well organized source-code and equally sensible CSS - the
same as for other browsers. Most IE6 bugs are gone under such
conditions, and the remaining bugs are easier to sort out and "kill".
