Hi Sean!

Instead of
- - -
<html>
<head>
- - -
please try

- - -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
- - -
in your HTML, it can do the trick with MS IE6.

Unless you use HTML4 Strict DTD in your code, MS IE6 behaves the same way as 
MS IE5. (to my best knoledge of IE6 internals)
