Notes

View the CSS for this page. When you use the CSS position: absolute in IE6 you can only set either left or right, but not both at the same time, unlike in all of the other browsers tested (see the index for a list of browsers that this technique has been tested in). The same also applies to top and bottom. Because of this limitation some extra CSS for this page is added for IE6 that uses an expression to correct this. Unfortunately because expressions require JavaScript to work this means that this layout technique does not work in IE6 when JavaScript is turned off.
