Please Help -> Bizarre IE6 Bug!

[dakota.duff]

See how the top box's header is invisible in IE6? WHY?!?!?

Works fine in FF, Safari, IE7, and every other semi-logical browser on
the planet!

Awesome!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And I agree with you about divitis. You're absolutely right.
Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) we don't care about search
engine ranking for these pages so I got a little lazy in their
construction. I do all of my building for Firefox and then have to
reverse engineer for MSIE 6 & 7 and I've found DIVs easiest to work
with because there aren't any browser assumptions about size, spacing,
etc attached to them like there are with header and list tags.

I know that purists would disagree with me and I may eventually go
through and add proper tagging, since I tend to be a bit of a code
purist myself.

Thanks again for the help.

I usually stick a

* { padding: 0; margin: 0; font: 100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }

in at the beginning of my stylesheet, to "remove" any default styling the
browser might apply. (Note that you MUST specify 100% for the font size,
otherwise nested elements will become smaller and smaller with each nesting
level! You can adjust the font size with body { ... }.) Of course, this
method has its own disadvantages too.
