Hi Damelon!
Yes that 'position:relative' is causing a bug in IE.
Welcome to the club! But I don't see why you need it.
I'm guessing it's to create that 4px grey line at the
top of the page. You can do this by giving "body' a
top margin of '4px'. Then remove that pos/rel and
all is well.
Also there's a horizontal scroll bar In IE6.
It's being caused by the <i> tag. Taking them out
and putting 'font-style:italic' does not fix this.
I can't explain why this happens, unless it's all
that italicized text getting wrapped at both ends?
