Thanks for the advice. I cleaned up the code, it validates as xhtml 1.0 now.
Still getting the positioning wrong in ie6. Can't find any information that
explains the discrepancy. Could the fact that the outer div that wraps it
all is relative have anything to do with it?
html file is updated
thanks for help
