Unless your element ABSOLUTELY needs to be 250px high (eg. for absolute positioning or because of background elements [..hopefully]) then there is no need for it!!! IE6 will throw it all out of whack. Not only that but it doesn't see z-index correctly either. Oh and go ahead and name a private variable in Javascript called "class" and watch what IE6 does! Simple things like that can lead to failure on that browser. AND don't even get me started on transparent PNG images in IE6... | Amen to everything above, Anthony. IE6 is a web developer's nightmare to say the least. While I'm not forced to use IE6, they do want us to use IE7 since they believe it's more compatible and trustworthy than the Firefox browser. Thank God for thumbdrives and this handy website. I keep my 'Fox on a stick, dude.
