There are a couple things I need to point out. First of all, ie6 is a terrible browser; it is known to have dozens of bugs and doesn't correctly display several standard HTML codings. If ie6 is showing anything correctly while another browser is showing it 'incorrectly', it is a good indication that your code is bad or ambiguous, and the difference between browsers is caused by each browser taking its best guess and some browsers coming a little closer to what you intended. Your code is at fault. First, try validating using w3c's html validator. This reads your code and tells you where there might be problems.

Second, try playing with the code in ie7 or better yet, firefox and when it works there, check to make sure it is still readable in ie6. NEVER use ie6 as the first browser in which you test an application; since it has bugs people use all sorts of weird tricks to make it work, and they tend to go way off if they start with ie6.

Third, this is really an HTML issue, you should probably ask future questions along these lines in the HTML forum. remember that although many different applications can write code for the web, it all boils down to the application writing HTML code. If the code is at fault, fix it with a HTML solution.
