DW's error checking is not a proper Validator, use the W3C HTML and CSS
Validators, http://validator.w3.org which will check your code with a

I think you will find, that it's actually just a case of IE being nmore
forgiving of shit codeing. IE V 6 is an old browser, and it's broken
in several ways.
Mainly, in some area's of CSS support and non standards compliance.

I think you will fine that the Mozilla Foundation, the group who
produce FF, are actually quite well off, they made a lot of money off
the old NetScape Browser. (That's going by what I have noticed anyway).
