Hello
I am a rather new website builder and as I am a beginner I am encountering certain problems with some explorers. It just so happens that the explorer that does not work is IE6. I use firefox and all my friends do but I am doign this stuff as a little webproject and the school does not seem to like my stuff.

So anybody think they can help me out to check why my code does not work with IE6? Well then please check out the site here:
http://kinship.5000megs.com/kinship/home.html

Make sure you check it with both IE6 and firefox 1.5

Well thanks in advance for any help. I am a little lost in the woods here so all help is greatly apreciated.

Can't help you with the HTML but you may want to consider reducing the size of the logo at the top of the page. It's nearly 270Kb in size.

that was the smallest I could get a gif image that size. It is medium quality with only 4 frames. I am going to change it all to a flash version though when I have the time, but that will take some time.

This is what I get so far by checking your site for errors. I made a copy of your source to check it. Ignore the c: reference. When you use tags you have to be very careful. Not all are cross browser compatiable.
