I have a site at http://www.dellsvet.com/ which is being affected by a bug in IE6. The page will only show what will fit in the viewport, and you’re unable to scroll down in IE6. I thought that I was dealing with the unscrollable content bug detailed here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/unscrollable.html — but it’s not a match as far as I can find. I’ve been tinkering with this for a while with no result.

Does anyone have any insight on this bug? I’ve got a feeling this is something simple staring me in the eye, but I’m missing it.

Thanks.

    You should consider not caring about IE6 because it’s becoming more and more rare. Nevertheless, you asked a question, so I’m going to answer it.

    Simply remove position: relative and z-index: 1 from #container.

    Doing that fixes IE6, and I did not notice any differences in IE7/IE8 or Firefox.

    Bonus, because I’m nice:

    To fix the menu buttons, add this to your CSS:

    .ie6 #nav li a { zoom: 1; display: inline }

    Thanks to your use of HTML5 Boilerplate, you have that nice easy way to feed CSS to IE6.

    To get (the drop downs) ul#nav li:hover ul working in IE6, you can use Whatever:hover.

    Other than the above issues, that page looks fine to me in IE6.
