Hello Ari, This is the first time I have debugged such a bug. I could not replicate the trigger that causes part of the page to collapse but I was able to replicate the duplicated content. <http://css-class.com/test/bugs/ie/6/duplicated-content-bug.htm> Two fixes that I was able to work out appear in the third and forth test. 1) To add dispaly: inline to the float before the content with is set as to display: none. * html no_email_div {display:inline;} 2) To change the width of the floated box with width: 100%. It maybe relating to the IE6 bug with quirky percentages [1]. * html #content form .phone_div {width: 97%;} There seems to be quite a few conditions that triggers the version which you have, namely the floated divs. Note: With this version of the duplicated content bug, the amount of the duplicated content is governed by the length of the content that is set as display none. See the source of the first and second test. 1. <http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/percentages.html> -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
