I'm having trouble getting IE6 to render a design based on Blueprint
properly. The site in question is hosted at http://92.48.122.106 which
IE6 renders as http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s042559/crossfitcph_ie6.png
. From previous posts, it seems missing "last"-class can cause this
problem, but I think I got them all (?).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I noticed that if I download the page in IE and in Firefox I get different <head> sections.  If I replace the IE head with the firefox head it works.  Do you have anything on the server side that detects the browser and modifies headers?  If so, I would look for the problem there.

Thanks for your reply, Leo! I have nothing on the server side
detecting the browser, but I do have [if IE 6] in the <head>er.

After a fair amount of debugging, I discovered the problem was related
to an "equal height columns" CSS trick I had applied, which required
adding "overflow: hidden" to the "container"-class. Apparently this
caused IE6 to render it badly. For now I have removed overflow when
the client uses IE 6 and live with suboptimal layout.
