My website is http://plantspages.com.

This website I created using a free css template and modifying it to my requirements.

I used dreamweaver MX for doing that and i previewed the pages in Firefox. Only after uploading it to my server I tested with IE (mine is IE6). It is not displaying things properly. All tumbled and with spaces in between.

I searched and first I should validate at w3.org and I did it. There were some errors and I corrected them. Now it is both css and xhtml validated.

But still the problem persists. Now I tested with IE7 and IE8 at IE NetRenderer. In IE7 there is a small problem but overall it is OK and in IE 8 it is perfectly OK.

Tell me, what I should I do? Please help me

I have the image of the website in IE6 as attachment.

Thanks in advance.

Can you provide the URL (address) of a document that demonstrates the problem?

It looks like a float drop. Floats drop when there isn't enough room for them and IE has bugs that adds extra margin to floats. Try reducing the width of the float, margins or whatever you have that limits the space for the float. It's usually a matter of a few pixels.

I did some debugging and now it is little better than before.


Hope I will get a better way out of this problem.

Yeah, it's pretty good even in IE6 now. What did you do?
