At the risk of making it seem like I'm trying to derail the thread
again, visit the following page in IE6 and find out if it's fooled by
any of the hacks shown there:
<http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/hacktests.html>
If so, then you could use whichever hack works in an adaptation of
the Box Model Hack. For example, this would work in IE5.5 but I'm
told it does not work in IE6:
#content {position: absolute;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family:inherit;
position: fixed;}
Apparently IE6 fixed most of its parse bugs in both "quirks" and
"strict" mode, so a lot of hacks stop working. Or so I'm told.
Confirmation one way or the other would be very much appreciated.
