Hello. on this site I am trying to get going I have a major problem with IE6. First of all it is an all CSS layout. It works in every other browser perfectly including IE7, but in IE6 and earlier (Im only concerened abut IE6 though) it pushes all my main content below the left column.

I am using XHTML 1.0 Transional doctype. That should put IE6 in standards compliant mode.

The site is: http://www.johnwhancock.com/demo/ph...

Any ideas?

Ok I just got rid of the margins on the left and right columns of the site and that got it working, but i need those margins there. For some reason it seems to be sticking more space between the edge of the layout and the columns. It is inside a 'wrapper' div which has a padding of 0 so that doesnt make sence. I thought the IE6 box model made things smaller not bigger.

Just wanted to say that I know I could use conditional comments but that is out of the question as I will be using this layout to give to others that probably wont remember to edit both the normal stylesheet AND the IE6 stylesheet.
