IE6 problems w/ borders and float

Hi,

I'm having IE6 problems with interpreting stylesheets, and I'm hoping
someone could clarify a couple of things for me:

First of all,page I'm testing can be viewed at
http://dreamstreet.winlogical.com/asocc/index.cfm.
The stylesheet can be viewed at
http://dreamstreet.winlogical.com/as.../mainstyle.css.

Here's the problem...
When viewing the page in Firefox, everything is as expected. The text
"Where can I find my Student ID?" has a 1px border on it's bottom which
becomes 4px when hovered over. When you click on this, there is a
heading that says "Instructio ns for finding your Student ID #" with an
"[X]" floating to the right. This is the way it should be.

When viewing in IE6, "Where can I find my Student ID?" had no border,
neither normally nor when hovered over. This changes once the
"Instructions.. ." link is clicked on (all of a sudden, the border shows
up). Also, the "[X]" does not float to the right inside the heading as
it should.

Any help with this IE6 problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

One more thing...just hit cancel on the dialog box that appears if you
try to test the site. The admin there has it set up kinda funny.

Allright, I solved the float problem by using margin-left, but the
border-bottom problem persists...any ideas?

Your page needs to be adjusted quite a bit. There are some 25+ syntax
errors in your markup that you may want to take care of before you go on
to worry on why browsers behaves different.

And what's with those 180+ empty lines in front of your document prolog?
You are not in any way "childish" enough to think that yo can "hide your
source" that way, are you?

There's no tables or anything with a fixed size. Problem is that in browsers like Opera 7, the IFRAME shows perfectly and just vertical scroll bar is showed (that's what I want). But on...

Hello, The latest incarnation of my troubles can be seen at www.kidsinaction/fd3/x.html - both HTML and CSS validate. I have two problems with it... 1) If you view this in FF, quite often the block of links on the left break out of the white box and extend below it, leaving the footer stuck out in grey space. To see this, make the browser window shorter, and at some point a gap will appear between the white box and the green footer

Hello, In my (seemingly) endless quest to understand CSS, I have yet another problem. Please look at http://www.kidsinaction.org.uk/ph/x.html in Opera, where you will see it how I expected. If you look at it in IE (6 or 7), you find it also looks fine, except for the top margin missing from the links across the top of the page. That's not the main issue here, but any pointers as to why it doesn't show them would be appreciated.
