I've been getting wave upon wave of complaints from people who view my website in Internet Explorer 6. I cannot see any problems with it, because I use IE5.5. So, can anyone help to sort the problem?

Take a look at the source code at http://netwise.bravepages.com

Yes. Bravenet put too many ads on my old domain, and one was something that installed porn!

lol always happens, think of loads of reasons why it doesn't work, and its always the most obvious.

Also with the Freeola thing, no problem with that. Are you planning on using them for this site now?

It could be that he spelt something wrong in one of the declarations. If that's the case then, depending on which browser the users using, either that rule will be ignored or that rule and everything after it will be ignored.

Go and proof read ye's spelling, Twainy :-D

BINGO, I see why the styles don't work. You havn't defined all those styles for the body:

body {
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-color: "#003333";
margin-left: 15px;
margin-top: 1em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
color: "#ffff00";
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: "Arial";
}

is what you need :o)

I wanted the text to be yellow, so I set it as yellow!

Also, the style sheet seems to define the text to be yellow?? Is that what colour you wanted???

I think it would be easy to just define the TEXT colour in the BODY TAG, as thats the HTML Standard. Although, not sure why the Style Sheet doesn't work.

You should get rid of that background though. Not very aesthetically pleasing.
