Trouble with CSS and IE6

Hi. I'm working on a template for a website on a separate server. I seem to be having some issues with the way it displays in IE6. It's XHTML transitional and both the HTML and the CSS validate. IE7 and Firefox 2 and 3 both display it exactly the same. IE6 seems to be doing things a little differently.

On the home page for example there is a larger div with a flash object inside of it and a second div floated to the right of that div with 2 smaller link classes. In IE 7 and FF they end up matching the bottom of the flash object but in IE6 they go lower than the flash object.

Then on the products listing page there seems to be a problem with the way the products get listed out. It's set to fit 4 to a row. Again in IE7 and FF it works exactly as it should but in IE6 it seems to only want to fit 3 to a row so it screws it all up.

I'm including a URL which is an IP only but I'm not putting in periods to prevent google from indexing it as it's only a temp site to do the work. Let me know if anyone has any idea's because this one has me stumped. Thanks

Thanks for any help you can provide

I think I figured it out. I hate to do it but don't see a way around it. Just had to write in some conditionals to make IE6 render the way I wanted it too.
