EDIT POST:
OK. I saw the new 3-30 set and tried it to post some screenshots. This is with IE6 and as you can see, the problem with the form is major.

Opera looks fine.

I would try this:
While in IE6, with all proxo filters enabled, save the page with all the files:
Web page, complete (*.htm, *.html)

Open the saved html in a browser, then use "web developer" tools to find the style that IE6 fails.

IE6
I don't know if IE6 can edit html and css with instant results, or only edit and reload. (I never tried anything but browsing in IE6.)

Supported in IE6 or IE7, but in "Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP"

Opera has Dragonfly for web developers. It's in View>Developer Tools>Dragonfly (Ctrl Shift I). I haven't tried Dragonfly.
Or context click the web page, command "Source" will open the html in a new tab.
You can directly edit each element. If there is a style in input, edit it.
<input ((leave this other stuff)) style="((stuff)) background-color:lime!important;"></input>
or add the style
<input ((leave this other stuff)) style="background-color:lime!important;"></input>
Then click the icon Apply Changes. Go back to the webpage tab and see the style changed. Or menu Window> Tile Horizontally (or Vertically)
There have been portable Opera for years.

I use Style Inspector/Style Editor in Firefox. Older Firefox (Win 2000 or Win9x) had DOM Inspector and/or extensions. Portableapps has old portable versions.
