IE 6 Rendering Bugs

Now that I'm working fulltime for Telligent I'm finding my duties to be changing a bit from what I've traditionally done.  I'm doing a lot more HTML/CSS design type work for the various projects we do.  I think its a great thing and I'm learning a ton.  At times though I'm quite a bit behind the eight ball in terms of what's what with CSS as its very much still a learning process for me.  Well here's the Welcome to Last Week (or perhaps last year?) that I ran into today. 

IE6 Rendering bugs.  One of my projects uses a div-css / table less layout, floating divs with out the use of tables basically.  The strange behavior that was reported was that the text was disappearing, and only appeared after the text had been hilighted.  After googling for a while, I was able to find this website: http://pear.reversefold.com/badIE/  basically the cure for the problem was to add a height attribute to the main content DIV. 

So in the end being able to google to find the solutions to problems is quite a nice benefit of living life in last week (as far as Html / CSS is concerned).

Thanks for the notes and the links! Didn't solve the problem I was after but found a solution to something that would have become an issue down the line. Most importantly changed my line of thinking which helped me solve the main issue. Hopefully will have the new version up and running before too long.
