Weird (css problem on IE6.0 and geocities)

Hi,

I have developed a page using only CSS with html. That means I have two files at the moment, layout.css and default.html. When I test it on my computer it works fine on IE6.0, Firefox, Netscape and Opera.

I then decided to give it a go on the live internet. I created an account with geocities and uploaded all the required files.

Now, when I loaded the page from IE6.0 the website is broken. Which means it is not displaying as it was when I was loading it from my computer. However Firefox and Opera are loading it fine.

For me this is just weird, since if I download the html from the page (right click, view source), save it on my pc, and load it again from my computer (locally), it works fine on IE6.0 again.

I know how I could solve this problem, however should I try solving this problem if my page is displaying fine on my computer (on the three browsers) but incorrectly on geocities?

Ps: I am only using geocities for testing.

It can be geocities that breaks your layout as they probably adds some code for ads etc (free hosts are known to mangle with the code). But without looking at any code or more info it is hard to tell.
What doctype do you use? One possibility is that the page is rendered in standard mode on your computer and in quirks-mode when viewed from geocities.

Thanks Akh and kk5st,

I confirm that it was the extra lines added by geocities that made my css freak out on IE6.0

On this not I decided not to change my css, since my end deployment will not be on this platform.

Thanks and Regards,
