[WSG] suckerfish and ie 5.2 mac

Hi gang! You all must have heard my head banging over the last couple of days! The semantic form that I got from Patrick works great when it's got room, the problem is, I don't have that much room. This is a small 200px wide quick search form that needs a bit of padding. If you add divs to the

Can anyone see why my menu is floating above the content div in IE6? It's supposed to be touching the white area below it, as it does in Firefox and Netscape, but for a reason I can't find, in IE6 it floats above and resists any attempt I've made to bring it to heel. Obviously it's possible
