ie6 is duplicating the last three characters of my sidebar

The last couple of characters from my sidebar are being duplicated at the bottom of the site in IE6. I've never seen anything like this and would much appreciate any suggestions.

Ok I am not looking at the Code but times I have had this happen to me, I floated the parent of the child float the same (right or left) or vise versa. Float the child the same as the parent. Or just set the child as relative. and "bam"! Should work.

Try to reproduce it with minimal code and post that code.

Sounds like the peakaboo bug. Try adding position:relative to the div holding the duplication.

Welcome aboard binaryorganic!

It's not the peekaboo, it's the "duplicate characters bug" (Google it) but it's equally annoying. :-) One previous discussion [webmasterworld.com] in which it can usually be solved with position:relative or hasLayout on the offending elements.

Sorry for posting the link. Didn't know I couldn't do that (which means I'm guilty of clicking through the registration process without reading err... anything).

Anyhow, it was indeed the duplicate characters bug, the problem has been fixed, and I'm eternally indebted. What a weird ride that was. Duplicate content? Sheesh.
