Be careful when running multiple versions of IE in side-by-side mode. I've experienced problems where the IE5 or 5.5 has inherited some of the properties of IE6, which do not show up when testing on a machine with a 'proper' version of IE5 or IE5.5. Mostly it's OK but i'm not using it anymore because i can't trust when it will truly act like IE5.x and when it won't.
I'm sorry that i can't be more specific at this point but i've forgotten which things have been the problem other than conditional comments (ok, i know i shouldn't be using them anyway...) has anyone else had problems?

Hi Francesco, It has some issues in earlier versions of IE PC You might want to check out (Just got my multiple versions of IE installed ( http://www.skyzyx.com/archives/000094.php ) so it's nice to be able to say that! ). I had a quick look in IE Mac and it does have a few things needing sorting. I started giving it a crack but then thought: You seem to have a lot of <div> s and a fairly complicated HTML structure for a relatively simple page. Perhaps the best place to start would be to simplify as much as possible. e.g. just from a glance: <div id="banner"> <div id="bannerLeft"> <div id="logo"><img src="media/logo.gif" alt="Blackcoil Productions" title="Blackcoil Productions" /></div> <div id="page"><img src="media/pageHome.gif" alt="Home" title="Home" /></div> </div> <div id="nav"> <ul><li id="navHome"><a href="Home.aspx" alt="Home" title="Home"><img src="media/navHome.gif" /></a></li><li id="navAbout"><a href="About.aspx" alt="About" title="About"><img src="media/navAbout.gif" /></a></li><li id="navCode"><a href="Code.aspx" alt="Code" title="Code"><img src="media/navCode.gif" /></a></li><li id="navPhoto"><a href="Photo.aspx" alt="Photo" title="Photo"><img src="media/navPhoto.gif" /></a></li><li id="navBlog"><a href="Blog.aspx" alt="Blog" title="Blog"><img src="media/navBlog.gif" /></a></li></ul> </div> </div> ...looks like it could easily become... <div id="banner"> <div id="bannerLeft"> <img id="logo" src="media/logo.gif" alt="Blackcoil Productions" title="Blackcoil Productions" /> <img id="page" src="media/pageHome.gif" alt="Home" title="Home" /> </div> <ul id="nav"><li id="navHome"><a href="Home.aspx" alt="Home" title="Home"><img src="media/navHome.gif" /></a></li><li id="navAbout"><a href="About.aspx" alt="About" title="About"><img src="media/navAbout.gif" /></a></li><li id="navCode"><a href="Code.aspx" alt="Code" title="Code"><img src="media/navCode.gif" /></a></li><li id="navPhoto"><a href="Photo.aspx" alt="Photo" title="Photo"><img src="media/navPhoto.gif" /></a></li><li id="navBlog"><a href="Blog.aspx" alt="Blog" title="Blog"><img src="media/navBlog.gif" /></a></li></ul> </div> ...and looks like it could potentially still be reduced. The simplified HTML would allow simpler CSS and therefore make debugging a lot easier as well.
