I'm having problems with page layout on 2 web sites in IE 6 - unfortunately telling my client that IE6 is ancient appears not to be an option. The simplest example is http://rootswire.org - the main content is appearing below the side columns. I have the same issue on another site where I've actually tweaked the CSS, but this site demonstrates the issue with a clean install of NewsWire.

Another somewhat less clean example is http://composers.com, which has a few other issues, particularly re: fieldsets. The sites both work fine with IE7 and 8 now that I've tweaked a couple of things.

Okay, so I figured out what the problem was in the rootswire site - it was an odd post on the front page that was pushing things around -- and the problem on the composers.com site apparently revolves around the fieldsets, which are hideously broken in IE6 - I applied the CSS fixes you suggested in some other issues for fieldsets, but it only seems to be fixing ie 7 and 8 - not 6.

Hey Steve, I'll try to grab a couple of hours and spruce up the fieldset handling, problem is I can't promise anything as we're flat to the floor at the moment with work, I'd really really really like to release a new version of this theme to fix many long standing bugs and issues, time as always is my enemy :/
