[FX.php List] Strange problem

[Michael Layne]

Hi,

Without being able to see the rendered page, I can't be sure of much,  
but  my first guess is that there may be something wrong in the actual  
HTML your code is rendering, and the more modern (better) browsers are  
letting you get away with it and IE6 is not.

Again, cannot be sure at all, but I've had IE6-specific problems where  
it turned out to be the markup itself.

Good luck.

Michael
