Layout works fine in IE8 but not in IE6, 7 (4 posts)

    I am new to WordPress and CSS and I have created my site successfully at http://manigo.info/. I have modified the style sheet and it looks fine with IE8 now, but the layout has got some problems with IE6 and IE7. There is an extra white column for IE6, and the navigation menu does not align with the search bar for both IE6 and IE7. I use the default twenty-one theme and created a child style sheet which imports the original one which is like the codes in the end of this post. I have searched for some posts about min/max width problems with IE6 but it seems irrelevant to my case. Could somebody please tell me what is going wrong with my site? Many thanks!

    Please use a Pastebin to post large chunks of code, following forum etiquette

    Esmi, thank you for the reference. I have tried that with a new style sheet of making the body background colour black but nothing has happened. My additional codes added to the header.php:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('http://manigo.info/wp-content/themes/twentyten-m2/style.css'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <!--[if gte IE 7]>
    	<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('twentyten-m2'); ?>/ie.css" media="screen" type="text/css" />
    <![endif]-->

    And my original problem is that, I could not find out the problem codes where IE6 and 7 does not work. I searched for "width" and modified every parameters, uploaded and tested in a IE6 tester application, but the additional column remained still.

    I apologized for my long codes without an external link. My child style sheet is now here:

    Please advice!
