== Categories show up too high ==

I have a problem with categories showing up too high covering up some text at the bottom of pages. It only happens in IE6, not in Mozilla. It also only happens with this account, when I use another account in IE6 everything is fine. I checked if it was something in my monobook, but couldn't find it. Anyone has any ideas?

:I sometimes have that. Resizing the window ususally clears it. <span style="font-family: verdana;"> — [[User:Edokter|<span style="color: #008;">'''''E''dokter'''</span>]] • [[User_talk:Edokter|<span style="color: #080;">Talk</span>]] • </span> 14:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
::Ok, now that is just plain weird. It worked! Thanks. Any idea what causes it? Just some IE6 bug? [[User:Garion96|Garion96]] [[User talk:Garion96|(talk)]] 14:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:::That's what I'm guessing... I'll have a look at the CSS that controls the Category box anyway. <span style="font-family: verdana;"> — [[User:Edokter|<span style="color: #008;">'''''E''dokter'''</span>]] • [[User_talk:Edokter|<span style="color: #080;">Talk</span>]] • </span> 15:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Thanks, I hope you find something. It's strange though, it only happens since the last couple of days. So something in that period of time must have been changed. [[User:Garion96|Garion96]] [[User talk:Garion96|(talk)]] 17:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, catlinks is defined in main.css, so I can't touch it (can't see nothing wrong there either). The only thing I did find is this snipplet in IE60fixes.css:
 /* Rule 18 of /skins-1.5/monobook/IE60Fixes.css?100 */
 #catlinks {POSITION: relative}
I don't know why, but this may be why the category box jumps up sometimes. <span style="font-family: verdana;"> — [[User:Edokter|<span style="color: #008;">'''''E''dokter'''</span>]] • [[User_talk:Edokter|<span style="color: #080;">Talk</span>]] • </span> 18:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Internet Explorers list of CSS quirks is utterly massive. You've probably heard it before, but I highly recommend you switch to a better browser, like Safari or Firefox. At the very least, IE7 fixes a lot IE6's problems; an upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea.
