I've got IE6 at work, specifically 6.0.2600.0000 and it renders the
pages fine. You really cannot pick it, IE5 randomly used to lock the
entire system up (like pull the power plug out sort of lockup) on
very simple pages like www.smh.com.au and www.lprng.com on this same
box.
All web browsers are buggy and they are buggy in their own individual
ways. You should hear the cursing from my web developer at work about
what browser do to her pages :) It's annoying but, it's unlikely we'll
change anything. I'd suggest you upgrade to the next buglevel of IE or
fiddle with some settings, even if they're not obviously related; you'd
be surprised how well that can sometimes work.
