IE6 Wierdness...

In Mozilla et al and Firefox were are jsut fine. Then we go to ie... NOTHING
but a background (the background-image assigned to body). I have no clue. Im
stumped. I mean if you view source all the code is there (its made from 3
seperate PHP includes, one of the loader, one of a submenu, and one of the
content). Im thinking it has to be soemthing with my JS or my CSS, but ive
checked the CSS with a finetooth comb and ive tried removing the onload js
function from the body tag, but it didnt help anything.

Im at a total loss here. Anyone???

Bueller?

BUELLER!?!

I copy pasted this into DW and when i even try to preview i get an error:
"An Invalid arugment was used"
Not sure what this means but it wont preview in IE OR FF.

Does it give you anything more than that? A line number? Was it a PHP error
or a JS error, or an IE error??

I msut say though, I wouldn't be surprised if that were ok, Everything is
loaded by a PHP script that opens an XML config file for each section and
then loads the content as required. It all previews good for me and it loads
up just fine on the server as well - at least in FF/Safari.

Thanks for taking a look, though!

- According to the W3C validator, you've got an error on line 18 of
your global.css file. That would be this line:

background-position: 750px top;

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html :
Keywords cannot be combined with percentage values or length values
(all possible combinations are given above).

The validator also thinks that you're missing esum.css and sColumn.css.

I am missing those CSS files, however it had nothing to do with css. I have
bad habit of using XML shorthand for tag closures, I did so on the script
tag... hence no readable code.

I guess that would do it. Odd - IE is usually more tolerant of bad code
than other browsers.
