Doctypes and IE6

Hi,

I put this site together a few years ago and it's come back to haunt me. My problem is that in IE6 and lower it goes hay wire, http://www.sianamorgan.com. I figured out its related to the Doctype declaration as I removed them and it worked fine. I don't want to remove all the doctypes just to satisfy IE6, is there a workaround for this does anyone know.

thanks

Just as a test, try declaring font-size in px in your css for BODY. Might fix the different text sizes in IE6.

Would a bit of javascript do the trick. I'm not totally sure because i only recently started using them but something like this might work:

DOCTYPE for all other browsers as normal but then add this just after:



This code will only be seen by IE 6 and below as far as i understand it.

ie 6 still choked on the loose.dtd so I just took it out altogether and now it works, here's what I have.




thanks
