Ah! Well, at least I understand the question now. Can't explain it though.

My IE6 is part of a "virgin" XP install that hasn't been updated. That's not
as dangerous as it sounds - I only run it for testing, and then only in a
Parallels virtual session. :-)

So maybe the page relies on some bug in early builds of IE6 that was fixed
in later releases. Other than that possibility, I have no idea what the
problem might be.
