css IE6 positioning

[15hoursNow]

IE6's bug suite is really starting to hack me off. Here is the page i'm working on: http://www.spectruminsuranceinc.com/freequote.html. By tweaking the css properties a little, i can get this page to display perfectly in Mozilla Firefox. IE6 spits it back in my face and i can't figure out how to fix it. I've tried changing the padding on the containing and child div's and still nothing. Here's the CSS.

*{
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;

}
//this is for the child div//

.word{position:absolute;top: 190px;left: 400px;}


div.domtab{
padding:0;
width:80%;
font-size:90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
ul.domtabs{
float:left;
width:100%;
margin:2em 0 0 0;
}
ul.domtabs li{
float:left;
padding:0 .5em 0 0;
}
ul.domtabs a:link,
ul.domtabs a:visited,
ul.domtabs a:active,
ul.domtabs a:hover{
width:8em;
padding:.2em 1em;
display:block;
background:#dcd077;
color:#000;
height:3em;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
}

ul.domtabs a:hover{
background:#d5c54c;
}
div.domtab div{
clear:both;
width:auto;
border: 7px solid #d5c54c;
background:#fff;

color:#000;
padding:1em 3em;
}
ul.domtabs li.active a:link,
ul.domtabs li.active a:visited,
ul.domtabs li.active a:active,
ul.domtabs li.active a:hover{
background:#d5c54c;
color:#000000;
}
#domtabprintview{
float:right;
padding-right:1em;
text-align:right;
}
#domtabprintview a:link,
#domtabprintview a:visited,
#domtabprintview a:active,
#domtabprintview a:hover{
color:##0000FF;
}
p{
margin:0 0 .5em 0;
line-height:1.3em;
}

h2{
font-size:1.3em;
color:#000;
text-transform:uppercase;
font-family:"Trebuchet MS",Arial,Sans-Serif;
padding:0 0 .7em .2em;
}
h1{
font-size:.4em;
text-align:left;
font-weight:normal;
font-family:"Trebuchet MS",Arial,Sans-Serif;
padding:.5em 0;
background:#fff;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
}
pre{
font-size:1.2em;
padding:1em;
}
div.domtab div a:link,
div.domtab div a:visited,
div.domtab div a:active
{
color:##0000FF;
display:block;
font-weight:bold;

}
div.domtab div h2 a,
div.domtab div h2 a:hover,
div.domtab div h2 a:active
{
color:#000;
display:inline;
padding:0;
font-weight:normal;
font-size:1em;
}

Validate to find your missing div error. You also have two css errors.

found missing div and added, but that did nothing. And i have no idea what css errors you're talking about

Congratulations!
This document validates as CSS!

Now can you actually try to give me an answer instead of some validation bull****. I knew there was an error or two, but i also knew that it had nothing to do with the problem i'm having, just as you should by looking at it.

I made the following changes

.word{margin:0 0 0 13em;}


div.domtab{
padding:0;
width:760px;

and floated the form left and it started to look better but I can't see what the interaction is between the form and the .word that is keeping it from floating up to the right of the form.

Thanks Ray. That did the trick, renders perfectly in IE and in Firefox now after tweaking the position of the child div a little.

If you do not wish to answer a user's question, you're certainly free to not answer. However in that event please do NOT post in their thread at all. Thank you

I did answer his question and received this answer.
Now can you actually try to give me an answer instead of some validation bull****.So I guess you are validating his answer and condoning his behavior? In that case, I will go elsewhere.

Yeah, validation is is the first thing you want to look at when something doesn't work right. Doing anything else is a waste of time until it validates.
