CSS - Looks Good In Ie7 & Ff But A Mess In Ie6

You can check this problem in the pink square with curvy corners that I have in
the url metatradersoftware com(I cannot mention it because of forum fules).

How I am supposed to show you my code if you do not know the url where it is?This post is just for asking a question. Thus, I hope there is nothing wrong with it.
If you check the site with firefox, opera or safari everything will be alright, though. Do you have any idea why internet explorer 6 above all and 7 make this mess? For the time being, I still do not have any concrete idea about the reasons of this different behavior in these browsers from Microsoft.
I would appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any idea what could be happening to my main menu - it dissappears in Safari!

Hello everybody, please excuse me as i am a begginner. I have made some changes to my CSS and everything is fine apart from one section.

On my website in the "Check-out" are i should display a Paypal application and and image containing information. I can't figure out why the image and the application are half way down the page.

Here is the Website.

Does anybody have any ideas?. I apologize for being so simple but i am a complete beginner with all things CSS.

Peter

haha, Web development could actually be fun if the browsers would at least adhere to the same standard!

Anyway, in my web page I have this setup going:

Code:

<div class="logoContainer">
	<div class="indexLogo">
		<img src="/templates/include/index/logoLeft.jpg">
	</div>
	<div class="indexLogoRight">
		<img src="/templates/include/index/logoRight.jpg">
	</div>
</div>

and the CSS Looks like this:

Code:

.logoContainer {
	position:relative;
	width:100%;
	min-width:866px;
	height:100px;
	background:url(include/index/logoFiller.jpg);
	background-repeat:repeat-x;
}

.indexLogo {
	float:left;
	min-width:431px;
	height:100px;
}

.indexLogoRight {
	float:right;
	min-width:384px;
	height:100px;
}

This works fine in IE and safari, but in IE the right floated div drops down when the browser window is resized to a pixel size smaller than the width of the 2 images. I am forcing IE into standards comliant mode but it doesn't fix this problem.

I've tried various fixes on the net and nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong or how can this be corrected?

This is my first css html design and its been quite a struggle.

I've been reading about bugs and hacks for ie 6 but recognising them and implementing the changes I'm stumbling on.

The pages that look the worst are : efficient-heat net / form and efficient-heat net / services. They have been decimated by ie 6.

I've taken out the javascript navigation for validation reasons.



I know about conditional comments so if I can I would like to make adjustments to the code rather than finding hacks.


What's going on with these pages. Can you give me some suggestions of what I need to do.

I appreciate any help, Thanks.
