You've got the foundations of a great design there, well done

With IE6 its best to have a seperate stylesheet with a conditional statement in your html page so that the changes made only effect IE6.

Create a new stylesheet called ie6.css and copy the contents of the classes you need to modify over to it. Then add a conditional statement to your html page such as:
You can start making all the changes you need without them affecting any other browser than IE6.

Hope that helps

just to note, the conditional statements will not show in stand alone versions on IE6 if you have them.

thought i'd add my 2 cent

I would target IE 6 specifically in this case. While IE 6 and 7 will share many common fixes, there are also plenty they won't.

karloff: conditional comments work fine in IE 6/7 Standalones and IE 5.x standalones as well. Get the Multiple IE Installer

<!--[if IE 6]>
<link href="menu/ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->

Thanks a lot for your comments.

i just need to try and sort out why the last menu item goes onto the next line now...

I would bet because the margins, padding or widths = an amount greater than the width of the parent.
