IE 6 CSS Bugs

Today I'm glad to say that all of my free templates are finally tweaked to deal with Internet Explorer (IE) Ver. 6 css bugs. I've just reckoned this problem when some of my friends recently told me that my templates were not rendered correctly on IE and after I investigated further, they are using IE v.6. After googling, I got the answer from this site , and made some adjustment to my css.

Well, I must apologize to those of you who have downloaded my previous template codes, coz I am not realize this IE6 bugs. Iam using IE 7. Now, all the templates are (hopefully) fixed.

Learning from this mistake, I have also tested my templates on various browsers and platforms. These are the list of platforms, browsers and results:

OS: Linux Fedora Core 4
Firefox 1.5.0 / 2.0.0 -rendered correctly
Konqueror 3.4.0-5 -rendered correctly
