IE6 is pain in a/ss, not only because it always have it’s own way of www code interpretation, which cause many problems with styling your website, but also IE is totally unsafe and slow.
Now you’re talking my language. Thanks for this! When is IE going to catch up?

I had real trouble getting my links to hover using CSS for this http://www.repossession-stoppers.com every now and again the hovers seem to get stuck, and no other links will hover. So annoying, I spent ages on this thinking I had done something wrong…..
There is one really easy way to get consistent browser interpretation.
Design your sites in Tables.
IE6 will only allow hovers to work with anchor tags, but you should be able to minipulate the style of your anchor tags with CSS.
Infact i have the same problem today!
IE6 is a complete pain, but it’s still the second most popular browser in use, with Firefox first and IE7 third. Roll on the day it has gone the same way as IE4. I think the release of IE8 will only help to speed up this process.
Wow, what a bunch of crazy bugs!
I am always hoping more people use firefox, and this is exactly the reasons why!
