IE6 Win2000 vs WinXP? (and am I serving js correctly?)

Posted: Sat, 2008-05-17 15:48

Is there a reason a min/max-width website (validated, proper doctype, etc) would display fine in IE6/Windows2000 (and also IE7 Windows2000) and would break in IE6/WindowsXP? ...Any rendering issues with IE6WinXP that don't exist w/ Win2000 - generally speaking?

Screenshots are here: ie6-winxp http://www.horseink.com/workroom/gmha/protosite/ie6-winxp.png , ie6-win2000 http://www.horseink.com/workroom/gmha/protosite/ie6-win2000.png , ie7-winxp http://www.horseink.com/workroom/gmha/protosite/ie7-winxp.png

Page is here: http://www.horseink.com/workroom/gmha/protosite/gmha-proto.html
CSS is here:
javascript for ie, via cc's: http://www.horseink.com/workroom/gmha/protosite/css/gmha-ie.css
(and if anyone wants to plod through these...)
Main layout: http://www.horseink.com/workroom/gmha/protosite/css/gmha-base.css
Main design: http://www.horseink.com/workroom/gmha/protosite/css/gmha-theme.css

Now that I look at this, is this the correct way to serve the javascript (on a .css page, called by conditional comments), or is this what IE6WinXP is getting stuck on?? The site uses javascript min/max-width and it looks as though the content displays at the min-width while the page container is seeing the max-width. (js was active when screenshot was made).

Would appreciate any thoughts on this before I just rebuild the thing as fixed-width....

Thanks!
