IE6 elements out of place until mouseover?

[zgoehner@gmail.com]

Working on http://churchbcc.org.s14623.gridserver.com/

When I load the site in IE6, some text and image elements appear to
the left of where they should be. When I mouse over the element, it
snaps to the correct spot. If I clear the browser cache, the page
loads correctly. But when I re-load the page or browse to another
page, the problem repeats. Sometimes, the elements don't appear at
all.

The html validates, and everything is fine in Firefox, IE7, etc.

What am I missing here?

First clean up as many of the errors and warnings as you can at

(perhaps a task considering the number of your style sheets...)

Not exactly.

The fact that the web is not paper? The design does not adapt to my
large type size, so it looks pretty broken, not to mention the
unreadable white text on white background parts.

Well, that was of course my first thought. I've dealt with a lot of
IE6 errors and yes, making it valid usually fixes it. In this case,
most of those css validation errors come from the Wordpress plugins
I'm using. So, I deactivated all of them, (one by one, and also all at
once), but that didn't change anything, so I'm inclined to think it's
something wrong with the way I've styled the divs. All my usual
troubleshooting tactics lead nowhere...

Thanks, Berg, but that's an issue I can deal with later. Right now I'm
interested in figuring out why IE6, specifically, is sporadically
mutilating the layout.

IIRC you need to set an enclosing <divto a specific width, usually a
percentage.

FYI: I fixed the IE6 issue by deleting the reset.css styles. Case
closed.

Does this mean you're now going to work on the other design flaws?
