(1) When I didn't had any Javascript on my website, I didn't had the
problem => JavaScript doesn't cause the trouble
(2) The CSS-file validates correctly
(
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...re%2Fnieuw.css)
=> CSS doesn't cause the trouble (or it should be that the w3c validator
is wrong). I appreciate the link that you gave me, but it's too much
work to read through the msdn, mozilla, khtml and opera pages to see how
they handle their pages, that's why I (mostly) only check if the
(html/CSS)page validates correctly with the w3c and that's (in my humble
opinion) the way it should be.

That's because I already omitted the DOCTYPE through some browser
sniffing, now I included it again, so you can see it doesn't work on
IE6:

In my opinion, that's a little bit to fast for a conclusion, I think
it's a problem in IE6 ;)
