The page in IE (6) is jumbled up (table of contents mixed up with page contents) since it (IE6) does not support "position: fixed" used in the org.css. I faced the same issue when I gave some org-generated HTML documentation to someone using IE yesterday. So I got some help from a friend and worked out a compromise so that it doesn't break so horribly in IE6. What I did was to create another small CSS file, org-ie6, css, with following contents: : #table-of-contents{ : position: absolute; : float: left; : } : : body { : background-attachment: scroll; : } And load this CSS conditionally when IE 6 is being used by adding following line in the generated HTML file's header just above the tag: : (previous line may wrap) The compromise is that the table of contents in the sidebar (along with the background image) scrolls up with the page unlike in FF, which IMHO, is an acceptable compromise. I have been told that some javascript magic can make IE6 behave like "position: fixed" but I haven't yet worked out how/if that can be done. Possibly a better workaround/solution exists for this else please consider making similar change to the Orgmode home page. Also, I do not have access to IE7 so I do not know if that works.
