Css Based layout and IE6

[Curve]

If you look at: http://www.curvatures.co.uk in IE 6 you notice that some thing went really wrong.

When ie6 was mainstream i wasn't even contemplating CSS based layouts so i have no idea's about work arounds for this stuff.

But seeing as most people are still using Windows XP and the default browser is IE 6 not 7 i need to come up with some work arounds.

Any ideas?

p.s. Link to style sheet: http://www.curvatures.co.uk/style.css

Well i found a stand alone version of IE6 and a list of rendering problems regarding css and IE6 compared to IE7 and ive pretty much fixed all the problems i have.

The only pain in the butt ive got left is because i used the "_" technique to show things in IE6 and leave things open for the rest the wc3 css validator now gives me Parse Errors where i have done this.

So new question, what would be the best way to impliment the special css for IE6 and still get a valid CSS sheet according to the wc3?

Look into using conditional comments. :)

For some reason when viewing the site in the IE6 standalone its thinks its both IE6 and IE7 when i enter the conditional comments.

Although im guessing that has more to do with having IE7 installed.

But hopefully it should now render correctly to some one who uses IE6 as there main browser. Need to find some one to test that for me :)
