   When we try to create a CSS page design with Div tags, the page gets distorted in IE6 though it is ok in firefox ,chrome etc. Is there anything we have to alter for IE 6 compliant page?

   @techlee: Please, please, please....do NOT code specially for IE6. It's far too lax in terms of the security holes affecting it. And it's just not standards compliant.

   Make sure your coding is W3C compliant and all will be well.

   Thanks Sparx. But the problem is that still the number of visitors ie6 is too high and the webpage is showing as distorted to them.

   Then encourage them to switch to alternative browsers. Push a mobile version after using scripting to identify the browser version being used. That way your content will be viewed, but users also get a subtle reminder to upgrade from IE6.

   IE6, IE7 and now IE8 is here. Most definitely time to upgrade, security and feature wise. If they're part of an enterprise, then the sysadmins/network admins must be hauled upside down and flogged for allowing IE6's presence to remain. I feel strongly about this.

   Thanks Sparx. Will try out some of your suggestions. However, I see at most of the cyber cafes in India still use and they are quite reluctant to upgrade. IE 6 is basically being used by people who are not aware of the advantages of the new browsers and who don't really bother as it still does the work for them. I agree with you views regarding IE6 and hope that is removed completed from every single computer. But unfortunately it will take some time

   We cant write code for each and every browser and checking in it. Better you check with W3C as sparx told.
