Hmm. "style.position = 'absolute' does not look like CSS to me... FWIW All versions of Internet Explorer behave like IE 5.5 with those first 3 conditions. An xml prolog (or whatever it's called) will make IE6 behave like IE 5.5. Other than that fine snippet of wisdom, I can't really help without knowing what your problems might be. An actual Web page would help. Are you sure this is a CSS question?
