Hi Mark
You forgot your URL. But I had a similar problem with IE5 doing things
differently to IE5.5 and IE6 and vice versa as many time as there are
possibilities.
The answer for me was conditional comments. Below is an example of code that
I dropt into each page on my site to correct a problem were the absolutely
positioned navigation div was appearing too far to the right in IE5.5 and
IE6 (due to these browsers not appreciating that they should position a
child element to the nearest positioned ancestor), perfect in all non-IE
browsers and in IE5.

I had a head scratcher (not hard since I've been doing CSS for a week
today...) in my web site that if I used divs or spans for text links,
the whole web page content would display differently. Divs seemed to
work best. Now that everything almost works in IE 6, I'm able to
start thinking about checking in other browsers, and learning how to
write for other browsers. The validation REALLY helps, but some
issues the validator has I disagree with. Again, all I learned I
learned because of what I read here, including following suggested
links. My hat's off to you all.

Is there a web site that simulated what a web page looks like in other
browsers?

Thanks for the URL. I think I tried that once before, but it didn't
work, like the page was down or connection cocked up, etc. I'll pay 10
bucks any day to use browsercam after that demo! I was able to refine
my page in a few hours to work cross platform except for Opera 6.0
Mac, which just displayed a blank page! I emailed Opera support, and
in detail explained that it does work in Opera 6.05 Mac, and in all
other platforms, is 6.0 Mac superseded? This all pretty much is a
mystery to me, but the page is looking good not. My one last item that
I know of is how to get a gif to position itself ALWAYS in the bottom
left corner, even after a screen resize. Any links? I can't quite put
it together.
