IE 6 is a pretty ancient browser.  Microsoft has released IE 7,
and has even now released IE 8.  There is no point in supporting
a browser this old, that has this many problems.

Users should either upgrade to IE 7 or IE 8, or switch to an open
source browser which is more standards compliant, like Firefox 3
or Google Chrome.
