size?

It should but its quite flakey, I know there are issues with mozilla
in quirksmode:

Any more info would be appreciated...

In this case I am using IE6 because it is for a web application where the
users are 'controlled', in other words IE6 is used as a corporate directive
in this case. If the web app was going to be used outside of that
environment I would test in other browsers.
