Hi all
Once again IE 6 has destroyed my afternoon, I don’t know if I should be bothered about it but I would like to work out what’s wrong.
I have a simple navigation here made up from a horizontal set of links and a secondary navigation below it. In IE6 the Secondary nav is twice the height it should be and covering the main navigation.
