In IE6 the popup information window, added to cart, is mostly above the top of the browser window, with just the lower 1cm or so showing. No problem in IE7 and FireFox.

Don't have IE6 here.
Can anyone with IE6 confirm this?
Yes, I have IE 6.0 and I can confirm that the popup box partially appears at the top the screen.
However, after further investigation I found this happened only on certain templates. So my question is what determines where the popup box appears?
After reading this thread
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=32241.0
I removed the following line from the template and the popup box appears OK in the centre of the page
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'. $iso[1] .'"?' .'>';
I don't understand what this line is actually doing to cause the problem.
That line causes IE6 to go into quirks mode so it makes its own interpretation of how the page should look. VM1.1 displays best where the browser is running in standards complaint mode - as you say, then the popup is correctly positioned.
Good spot!
