Here is a useful page detailing the specification for the same origin policy in Mozilla.

Same origin policy for Mozilla

Does anyone know or have a link to information of how the same origin policy in IE6.

Primarily I would like to know if websites are operating from differnt ports then would they be considered to be from the same origin or not?

See the browser security handbook for a detailed comparison. IE, as the only browser, does not seem to be sensitive of the port number:

If protocol, host name, and - for browsers other than Microsoft Internet Explorer - port number for two interacting pages match, access is granted with no further checks.
