Problems with IE6; help needed in testing

Okay, it looks like IE6 is throwing a real fit about the new layouts. See the very helpful screenshots in this comment.

I've given IJ-sitepage-body a width, so it should have layout and IJ-sitepage-nav should accept absolute positioning within it; apparently the problem is something more arcane.

If anyone has a copy of IE6 in easy reach and wants to poke at the problem, I'd hugely appreciate the help. The only copy I can get to is remote and I can't connect to anything /else/ while using it, which makes testing changes a bit of a trial.

Any ideas are welcome!

ETA: Height of the header is part of it; this... is going to be a pain. I might actually need to add a clearing div to the html code. More news as I can catch it.

ETA2: Triumph! Maybe. I think I've gotten it to play nicely with older IE, but if anyone has a copy of IE5 or 6 hanging around and could give it a test-drive once the code is live, that would be very helpful.

Re: One of the few advantages of having a decade-old computer is a copy of IE6

*nibbles nail* Maybe it I give the title/logo a percentage width... I'm trying to make this compatible with both large font sizes and an 800x600 screen, which should be interesting. *grins*

As a person with limited vision, can I just tell you how thankful I am for that? I absolutely hate it when I have to use a magnifying program just to read the itty-bitty text on some webpages (who the hell defines font sizes in PIXELS ffs!). It's infinitely easier to just set my monitor to 800x600 and use the No Squint extension for FF to up the font size. I don't really care about a little horizontal scrolling, as long as I can still see 80-90% of what's there, you know?
