Here's the rub, Gary: This may not be plug-n-play for the theme you are trying to use it on. Fixed-width themes have trade-offs and require considerable testing and re-adjusting. Nevertheless, you could possibly try adding the above code to the bottom of any one of the CSS files currently being called up in config.php.

I don't have a choice. I have to make it work with IE6....


We all do.

Are you building your theme atop the Standard theme? In other words, does your theme load on top of Standard?

If so, then there may be a style set in Standard that you are trying to overwrite in your custom theme. This will work fine in some browsers but not in others.

For example, I remember that .forumheaderlist .starter column is styled gray (#eee or something) in Standard. You can override this and think your fine in Firefox, Safari, etc., but later find out that the background is held in IE.

If you give us the specific table, I'm sure one of us have a solution. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet on this one.
