Problem with IE 6

I have the following CSS code, this code works great in FF and IE7 (as
expected) however IE 6 chokes on it. I think the issue is the line
that states: "position: absolute; left: 520px;". When I take that
line out IE 6 works however, the image is not positioned to my
liking... Can anyone please suggest a fix? HTML code below CSS:

#detailsHelp a {
border-bottom: 1px dashed #FEB14C;
text-decoration: none;
position: absolute; left: 520px;
}

#detailsHelp a:hover {
/* position: absolute; */
}

#detailsHelp a span {
display: none;
}

#detailsHelp a:hover span {
display: block;
position: absolute; top: 10px; left: -250px;
/* formatting only styles */
padding: 5px; margin: 10px; z-index: 100;
background: #eee; border: 1px dashed #FEB14C;
opacity: 0.9;
width: 250px;
color: #1A315F;

font-size:small;
font-weight: bold;
text-align:left;
/* end formatting */
}

Fair enough:

Test Case A: (Works in all browsers but the Information Button isn't
properly placed)

Test Case B: (Works in FF and IE 7 only - Information Button is placed
correctly)

First thing, I guess, to look at is:

Re: Problem with IE 6 - how do you install IE6 additionally

Hi to all is there a possibility to install the IE6 additionally to IE7
or maybe in the future IE6/7/8

I've tried it and I cannot recommend it. It's problematic at best.

Under Windows I use one of the virtual machines (either vmware or
virtualbox) and install an older copy of windows in it. Its not hard to
find someone with a retail version of 98 that you can snag from them for
a few coins.

Under Linux I sometimes use "ies4linux." the beta version can install IE
5.5, 6 and 7. (If you modify the source you can also get IE1 and a few
other ancient versions.)

They aren't 100% accurate -- they fall apart with a lot of plug ins, but
for most of my testing, I find it a very comfortable option.

I agree with this. It helps a lot with working out answers to problems when
you have valid code.
