IE moved my menu!

Jun 11th, 2007

The site is in standards-complient XHTML and CSS, something IE6 has a huge beef with. But I've never seen IE do this before... can't seem to find any meaty info on the net, so I offer it up to Dani Web... how the heck to I fix this? Here are some screenshots. First Firefox, because it looks how it is supposed to:

... and IE6,

If it comes to a fix that only works in IE, but breaks FF or other browsers, it's fine, I have an IE specific stylesheet.

I blurred out the logo because the site isn't launched yet and I'm not sure if the client would permit it.

Here is the HTML code that defines that entire left column

here's the CSS, according to Firebug (yes, I know the selectors are unusually long, the stylesheet output is compiled from SASS)
