Website is fine everywhere except IE6!

I wonder if someone can help me, I am helping design this site http://www.reunitefamilies.org.uk, it appears fine in Google Chrome, IE8 beta and when I have used http://browsershots.org to view screenshots of how it looks in other browsers and apparently its fine.

However when I view it on my work pc, where we use IE6, it looks horrendous, I dont understand it and its hard to fix the problem when I cant replicate it at home.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Lenora

    might be cause ie uses different coding techniques which means the website shows nt at its best in ie, could be wrong,
  • IE6 doesn't understand the min-height property in CSS.
    The best solution I've found to this is to put a small 1pixel wide left floated div with a height of what I need the minimum to be into the relevant area.
