Hi,

I developed a site (http://www.solidcitizenltd.com) and I was testing it in IE6 on a Virtual Machine and I got all sorts of weird display problems (text not showing up until you highlight it and divs displaying out of place). I was wondering if someone could give me a hand in this department since I really just don't understand why it's not working...
The pages I noticed especial problems:

Products page: no father's day text in blue at the top above the selection menus.
Individual product pages: main text body doesn't show up unless I highlight it.
Shopping cart page: the div which shows products etc just doesn't float within the main 'body' of the site. (you can reach the cart page by selecting "View Cart" from the RHS of any product listing.


Any help would be much appreciated. Hopefully it's just my VM.

I think the text problem is due to the forms being stacked in front of the text - giving the paragraphs a relative position to bring them to the top seems to solve both those issues :#content p {position: relative}

The shopping cart page does not have a doctype, so IE is in quirks mode - anything is possible then, espcially with the table layout...

ok thanks. I presume that relativeness won't mess up anything else. I don't have any control over the shopping cart so meh. That's a shame though.

Thanks... I'll try it and come back to you.

Yup, that worked. Thanks.
It's a shame that I can't do anything about the cart though.
