Scotalia, the more web design you do and more experience you get, you'll realise that browser issues are a constant pain in the arse. IE does not render your page like firefox because the 2 browsers have different default stylesheets, one way of avoiding some problems this causes is to reset all margins and padding. Put this in your css.....

*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

I unfortunately dont have IE6 on this machine so i cant see your problem at the moment. Btw, use Lorem Ipsum for your dummy text.
