IE6 problems w/ borders and float

Hi,

I'm having IE6 problems with interpreting stylesheets, and I'm hoping
someone could clarify a couple of things for me:

First of all,page I'm testing can be viewed at
http://dreamstreet.winlogical.com/asocc/index.cfm.
The stylesheet can be viewed at
http://dreamstreet.winlogical.com/as.../mainstyle.css.

Here's the problem...
When viewing the page in Firefox, everything is as expected. The text
"Where can I find my Student ID?" has a 1px border on it's bottom which
becomes 4px when hovered over. When you click on this, there is a
heading that says "Instructions for finding your Student ID #" with an
"[X]" floating to the right. This is the way it should be.

When viewing in IE6, "Where can I find my Student ID?" had no border,
neither normally nor when hovered over. This changes once the
"Instructions..." link is clicked on (all of a sudden, the border shows
up). Also, the "[X]" does not float to the right inside the heading as
it should.

Any help with this IE6 problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

One more thing...just hit cancel on the dialog box that appears if you
try to test the site. The admin there has it set up kinda funny.

Allright, I solved the float problem by using margin-left, but the
border-bottom problem persists...any ideas?

Your page needs to be adjusted quite a bit. There are some 25+ syntax
errors in your markup that you may want to take care of before you go on
to worry on why browsers behaves different.

And what's with those 180+ empty lines in front of your document prolog?
You are not in any way "childish" enough to think that yo can "hide your
source" that way, are you?
