However, the page looks empty (I see the header and main menu, but nothing in the content area), no matter which browser I use.

Regarding the question of supporting IE6 in the first place...

There's only one way to find out whether or not you should support IE6, and the answer may be "yes" for one team, "partially" for another team, and "no" for another team: What do your visitors use?

If you don't have an analytics system installed, sign up for Google Analytics (it's free) and install it on your site (it's quick and easy). Let it collect data for two or three or four weeks. It'll tell you how many of your visitors are using each browser, as well as each version of each browser.

Based on that number, you can decide how important it is to you to support those visitors. You could a) not support them at all, b) support them partially, and make the site viewable and usable even without providing all the features (hopefully in a way that the visitor doesn't even notice things are missing), or c) support them completely.

Feasibility of support is another factor...but it's important to know the implications of each option before you choose one. (My vote's for B, though.)
That's a good idea. I'll need to do that. But, you said you don't see any content at all no matter what browser you are using?

UPDATE: Just fixed that. I was validating that page and put an error in there. Should work fine now.
