   FF and opera render the website correctly,
   ie6 breaks the site, going to some pages shows nonsense,
   http://www.lawson-cruttenden.co.uk please compare what it should look like under ff with what it looks like under ie6.
   i have tried several other themes and apart from default wp themes other themes break some pages.

   the theme is nostalgia slightly modded

   please help me or point me towards the right direction.

   p.s. i have these plugins installed

   Plugins have nothing to do with it. IE6 has *everything* to do with it. IE6 is an old browser that is buggy and needs to die, and quite honestly you shouldn't be concerned with it.

   *However* - that being said, you simply need to add in an IE conditional in your header.php file, an have it call in a separate stylesheet that fixes IE6's bad business. There's *many* tutorials out there on how to use IE's conditional comments - Google and you'll be drowning in them.

   is this the sorta thing you are talking about ?
   <!--[if IE]>
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/iestyle.css" type="text/css" />
   <![endif]-->

   Due to improper copy and pasting by yourself or the theme designer, you have bad things like fancy quotes and slashes before quotes in your code:

   Replace: ” (fancy double quote)
   With: " (regular straight double quote)

   Replace <ul class=\"recent-posts\">
   With: <ul class="recent-posts">

   Replace: &
   With: &

   Nope. It's the theme's fault or your fault.

   Could be a plugin's fault too. That quote rotator seems to not handle HTML in the script code properly.

   it was a 2 part problem,

   1: pasting from winword has bad effects, since some junk formatting gets pasted.

   2: i created an IE css script to fix layout bugs in IE.

   P.S.

   when viewing my site in opera and firefox some pages shift to the left while moving from page to page. 2 empty pages do not shift. so i assume its probably the css script affecting content of the post, could somebody give me some hints how to ressolve this ?
   I only ask because searching on google for this kinda thing is difficult as some people just deal with it and ignore it.

   thank you
