"Chicken before the egg..." CSS will typically be wonky with non-valid
html. AFAIK, the CSS validitor will baulk if the HTML is invalid. I
implore you to validate continuously if you are having problems.

OK! Just use a doctype that'll put IE6 in "quirks mode"
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
should do ya (at least in IE5+).

The purpose of "slicing" is to fit things _into_ tables! Unslice (is
that a word?) them and place the single image into a header div! (Not
really an optimal solution though)

As do most of us ;)
