HI all,
The site I am working on is working fine on all browsers except IE6. The browser hangs and has to be END forcefully as soon as I type url of site and press enter.
After lot of research I found that css is cause of this crash. I removed a css file and and site started showing up.
This file is around 52kb so I reduced the size by removing out some css content from file and enabled css file and site opened in IE6 but I am not able to figure is it the file size or some style that is cause of the problem.
I used another css file with diffrent styles of same size and it is working so probably problem with styles.
Can anybody help me if I am moving in right direction or not?

css compression
I find it's very important for IE6. Have you enabled it?

ie carsh due to styles
Well..thanks for ur reply, but want to share my experience with IE6.
I was looking for the styles that were crashing IE6 because I read this http://raven-seo-tools.com/blog/2675/crash-ie6-with-only-css
so I was debugging problem with many ways but from 2000 lines of styles I found the culprit.
it was
#block-views-provider_front-block_1 .block-inner h2.title{
background:#292921 none repeat scroll 0 0;
border:medium none;
padding:0 3px;
color:#FFFFFF !important;
font-size:16px;
font-weight:normal;
text-align:center;
clear:both;
display:inline;
position:relative;
}
by replacing "position:relative; or display:inline;" from same element makes it working.
Ahhh .. this is greatest IE6 issue I have faced. I am sure nothing can beat IE6.

Well one correction in grammer above...the 2nd last line should be
by removing "position:relative; or display:inline;" from same element makes it working.
