Hi!
I have a site I'm building and most of the pages look fine in IE6, however, there are a few that completely break up. I don't understand because I'm using the same style sheets and the other pages look fine. Would you please take a look?
Here is a link
See? It's crazy! If you click on the logo or go to "Resources > Tradeshows" it's fine, or if you go "Products > Separation Science > Pegasus HT" it's fine. but the market pages are all wonky.
I haven't given up yet... I'm going to try a couple of things this morning, but if you get a chance, will you please take a look and see if anything strange jumps out?
I really appreciate your time! Thank you!!

Always fun working with IE6, haha.
Especially when I see one page working and others not working, I try to compare the source of the working / not working pages to see what kind of tricks IE6 may like.
One thing I noticed on both pages is that just before the </div> above the footer div, there's the following:
<p><br />
</p>
Perhaps IE6, for whatever reason, is rendering your table on the markets page below the footer div, but adding this <p> tag may stop that. Kind of a long shot, but that's the only difference I noticed between the two working pages and the Markets page on a quick look over.
Try making the ending code on that page:
With IE6 it's always a fun game of guess and check when it comes to this sort of issue.
Good luck!

Thank you, Sysgenmedia!
That is a great suggestion and I will let you know how it turns out.
Yes, I am in agreement with you; it is SO MUCH FUN working with IE6.
I tried comparing the pages myself and was having trouble- everything was starting to swim together...
Anyhow, thank you again, I really appreciate everyone's feedback!

May also want to look into MultipleIEs. Apparently this doesn't work on Vista, but I love it for my XP machine.
I used to use IETester for checking IE6, but I've found it's fairly unstable. MultipleIE's is a bit older I believe, and only goes up to IE6, which is all I use it for. I'll still pull out IETester for checking in IE7 from time to time though.

Yeah IETester has randomly crashed on me a couple times. Only has happened when I left the app running for long time??? Not sure why that would cause a crash, but hey it is free so I can't really complain
