CCK Fields not using $content

instead of displaying $content completely rendered, I was hoping to break up the cck fields into groups to place in different areas.

I like this idea, but it does not work with D6 : http://jodyhamilton.net/node-theming-field-deconstructing-node-content-d...

I can do just the body like print $node->content["body"]["#value"], and just the images like
if($field_image && !$teaser):

 foreach ($field_image as $img) {
						
						if($img["view"]){
							print $img["data"]["title"] . "<br/>" . $img["view"] . "<br/>" ;
						}	
					
					}

endif;

But what she does in that link is much nicer as far as letting new fields or changed fields still work, and just take a few fields out for manipulation.

Does not work in D6 (fields do not show up in foreach, only body)

unset($node->content['field_dumb_field']);
unset($node->content['field_annoying']);
unset($node->content['#children']);

foreach($node->content as $key => $field) {
    print $field['#value'];   
  } 

So I want to do just hat she is doing. take out an image field and style it, place it in a different div, etc, but let the rest of my fields display as they normally would by using 'display fields' options

thanks!
