Have you tried adding...
* html option {display: none;}
...?
That addition improves things in my IE6 (on win2K).

Nope, I would never have considered that option! (no pun intended) very
bizarre behaviour... but then again it's IE6. Thanks a million Georg.
I found the PIE page i was looking for [1], it was the duplicate
characters bug however none of the triggers mentioned on that page were
present... as far as i could work out anyway. At least the fix mentioned
on the page works, along with overflow: hidden;
* html option { display: none; }
* html label.del-post-code { margin-right: -3px; overflow: hidden; }
* html label.business-type { margin-right: -3px; overflow: hidden; }
This seems to have done the trick but I still can't work out why the
initial page rendering is off sometimes. At least it doesn't appear out
of line in the layout its currently starring in so that's something.
Thanks again Georg,
Rob O

[1] http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/dup-characters.html It's probably your input type=hiddens; they're mentioned as triggering the bug in the paragraph beginning Update! July 5, 2004 about halfway down the page. Regards, Nick. --Nick Fitzsimons http://www.nickfitz.co.uk/ Hi Nick, Thats just it, there are no input type=hiddens or any none displayed elements in the places it says are the trigger points e.g. between floats. I read the whole PIE page but it describes the cure and not the symptom in this case. Unless of course you want to generalise and describe the symptom as IE6 =P I need to get control of what hasLayout and what doesn't before I can work out what's really going on.
