Internet Explorer 6 Layout Problem

I have mac and I use Firefox. At work, I have a PC and use Firefox. My site looks fine. But, at work, when I open IE 6, on the product info page, the product description moves to the left and overlaps the product image.
It looks fine on Safari and IE for mac. Why is it doing this in IE for Windows?
Is there anything I can change in my css to keep it from doing this?

I'm using 1.3.7

Thanks in advance.

Re: Internet Explorer 6 Layout Problem

Try activating the classic template and see if this issue continues - if not then you know that it is a template issue

Re: Internet Explorer 6 Layout Problem

If I switch back to Classic it looks fine. However, I checked my stylesheet.css against the classic stylesheet.css and there isn't anything there that is causing the problem. Where else can I check?

Re: Internet Explorer 6 Layout Problem

I figured out that it is with the lightbox_stylesheet from my Lightbox mod. The only way I found to remove this issue was to delete the line: filter:alpha(opacity=60);

However, when you close the lightbox image and go back to the product info page, the text is once again overlaying the image.

As this is the case - it is something in the template/mods

As we can not alter IE interactively, it is difficult to troubleshoot from a far
