For nested boxes IE doesn't add the outer box padding and the inner box margin, as all other browsers do.
Test page Workaround is not included

2I believe the bug disappears (in MSIE 6) if you remove width:360px. In other words, the layout of the s were overconstrained to begin with.

1To be more specific, IE seems to misbehave with top padding only. A workaround to this is to have a layer, for example and then add a separate stylesheet for IE using a conditional comment ( http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html ). You also must have font-size : 1px; in the style for the padding fix if the height is smaller than the size of font (because IE thinks minimum height for a layer is the size of the font).
You can see this tip in practical use at http://firefox.maayas.net (see div.img-header).
