This mailing list is the best for all things layout-related IMHO:

Thanks a lot, I'll see that, especially soon enough when I have the
_next_ problem, namely:


On a quick look at your page, I'd say that IE6 doesn't believe there's
enough room for it to put in the content against the float, so it puts
it (quite rightly) after the float. If you could make the sidebar a
couple of pixels narrower, perhaps, or the content column a few pixels
narrower?

You got it! I replaced the original "width 800 px" to 805 px wherever
I could find it. Now it seems to work :)

That was cool. How come that occurred only in one of the language
options?

I also looked at the site of the author of the theme and it behaves the
same way with IE6.

Again, sorry if this is of no use to you ... but I would try the css
mailing list. It is very good.

Thanks a lot for your help :)

If it's OK with you I'll explain this on my site with credits to you
as I've already been wondering about this there?
