   I'm designing a new theme. When I tested it on IE6, there were the usual issues, which I fixed. Yet, I have this odd repeated character that is floating out there.

   Here is a link to a screenshot: http://www.westernmass-squash.com/collegesquash/wp-content/themes/themetest/images/ie6issue.jpg

   The last character in the title "Women's Individual" repeats itself. If I hover over the title, the floating "l" does not highlight. But if I float over the "l," the title highlights.

   Any ideas what is going on? Thanks.

   Here is the code in that loop:

   <div id="ranking-right">
   
       			<?php
   				query_posts('showposts=10&cat=78,77'); ?>
       			<h3>Sponsor Rankings</h3>
     				<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   				?>    
   
    				<p>
    					<?php the_time('n/j'); ?>: <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="title">
       				<?php
   					// this is where the title of the Lead Story gets printed
   					the_title(); ?>
       				</a>
   		  		</p>
   
       			<?php endwhile; ?>
   
      			</div><!--end ranking-right-->

   Could be that comment just before the_title() and the fact that the link code runs over 3 lines. I seem to recall that IE6 could get snitty about line breaks inside a link.

   Try removing all comments and whitespace as follows:

   <p><?php the_time('n/j'); ?>: <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="title"> <?php the_title(); ?></a></p>

   Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still having the extra character show up. Actually, now it is two floating letters.
