Hi,
I have a patch for ie6, here it is, insert the following lines on line 10 of index.tpl.php just below php print $scripts:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "<?php print base_path() . path_to_theme() ?>/fix-ie.css";</style>
    <![endif]-->

and then create the file fix-ie.css with the css shown here:

#left {
  width: 200px;
  margin-left: -1260px;
  padding: 0px 10px;
  right: 230px;
}

I'd like to test this... I'm a little concerned about the -1260px offset. It looks a little like its hard coded for a fixed width.

Thanks for the patch though, I'll happily commit this in if it works!

I've implemented this tweak on my development site however the left menu still behaves abnormally in IE6. Here is my theme's file listing...

block-footer.tpl.php
block-header.tpl.php
block.tpl.php
box.tpl.php
comment.tpl.php
CVS
fix-ie.css
logo.png
node.tpl.php
page.tpl.php
screenshot.png
style.css
template.php

I added the following to fix-ie.css

#left {
  width: 200px;
  margin-left: -1260px;
  padding: 0px 10px;
  right: 230px;
}

and the top of page.tpl.php now looks like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php print $language ?>" lang="<?php print $language ?>">
  <head>
    <title><?php print $head_title ?></title>
    <?php print $head ?>
    <?php print $styles ?>
    <?php print $scripts ?>
    <!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "<?php print base_path() . path_to_theme() ?>/fix-ie.css";</style>
    <![endif]-->
  </head>

  <body<?php print phptemplate_body_class($sidebar_left, $sidebar_right); ?>>

Any idea's?

I'm thinking to another approach, inspired by foliage theme

I see - the approach of wrapping everything in excess markup...

Thanks for the resource - I'll resort to that if I cant find a fix, but I really dont want to pollute the markup TOO much (I know I've got lots of divs for the rounded corners though ;-) hehe)
