IEsicks: browser revolt

Following a suggestion I read here, in this group, I downloaded
an IE6 standalone binary from http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone,
so I could run IE6 and IE7 together on the same test box. I usually
run
MacIntosh and/or Linux.

But I had a customer request for horizontally oriented dropdown menus.
Lot's of people don't like these, but I had the request. So I
implemented
some dropdowns using code I found at http://positioniseverything.net

I love that site, by the way.
Anyway, my punchline point is this:
The dropdowns I made run fine on an old Windows2000 box (at my work
place)
running IE6.0something. But they do not run on the IE6 standalone
binary I got at evolt.
So then I checked the positioniseverything example code (not my
version) with the evolt
standalone binary, and that didn't work either. So It's not clear what
that evolt binary is good for.

I don't want to mess with vmware, so I guess I'll buy an old used
windows box and boot it
for testing IE6 only. When java servlet code and/or anything to do
with apache doesn't
run as expected, there is always a log file somewhere, to help you
debug what's going
on. I would be nice if browsers kept an error log, hidden down there
with cookies
et al, somewhere, someway. Maybe they do and I just don't know about
it.
