IE6 causing content to duplicated [56k warn]

The last item in the category display is getting its product name and price duplicated below (look at it in IE6). At first I thought that it must be some kind of server-side error, but I checked the markup and saw that the duplicate isn’t in there. It is simply being duplicated by IE6 for some reason. I cannot for the life of me figure out what would be causing such a strange error. I would love some insight.

I'll need to take down this URL as soon as possible since this site isn't live yet, so that's just a heads up in case you get a 404.

This is the part I'm talking about:

it's probably caused by the html comments. (yes, I'm serious). IE sometimes randomly shows pieces of content if you have a couple of floats in combination with html comments in between them.

Indeed he's correct, I've also seen something else cause it if you have elements in a certain order.. can often be fixed by adding in the odd br or <p> <div etc - one of the weirdest IE bugs around..

have you had the "jumping content" one yet? where you mouse over something and it just jumps down the page.. and keeps doign it everytime you mouse over?

LOL IE is such a pile of crap. No I haven't had that particular bug, but here's looking forward to it! Image

yeah IE does suck, but then it's aimed at the same people who buy $6k packard bells and shop online, they are the end user of the clients site, and as such all of us who know better are stuck making one application for X many browsers.

Suppose it's a bit like making releases for linux, sun and windows..

:idea:

I'm going to start explicitly mentioning that I only support Firefox 1.5> IE7 Safari - any other browsers will incur extra costs :) *advices the whole community to do the same thing*
