As most Web developers know, IE6 is a pain to support when it comes to making a website look and feel just as in the other major browsers (Firefox and IE7). I'd like to know what are the feelings of other developers toward supporting IE6 on their websites. Of course if your main user base uses IE6 or if you're working for a client that ...
When using IE, you cannot put an absolutely positioned div over a select input element. That's because the select element is considered an ActiveX object and is on top of every HTML element in the page.

It seems that IE6 ignores any form of cache invalidation sent via http headers, I've tried setting Pragma to No Cache and setting Cache Expiration to the current time, yet in IE6, hitting back will always pull up a cached version of a page I am working on. Is there a specific HTTP Header that IE6 does listen too? ...
Sometimes IE6 will render the text of a UL list the same color as the background color, if you select it, they show back up, or if you scroll the page up and back down. Its obviously a rendering bug, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a workaround to make it reliable? ...

Works fine and all, except in IE6 but only if the windows user account is set to standard user (ie. not administrator). Since this is for a ...
