ooh neko, i feel your pain. ie6 is the devil.

when i absolutely have to code for ie6, i use conditional comments in the css to create special rules for different browsers. then in the html, i add a wrapper and an extra ie6 conditional div like this :

at the start of the body :

<!--conditional div for IE 6 and older--> 
<!--[if lte IE 6]>  
<div id="ie6anddown">  
<![endif]-->

and at the very end of the body :

<!--END conditional div for IE only--> 
<!--[if IE]>  
</div>  
<![endif]-->

then in the css, you create rules for non-ie6 by specifying :

non ie6

body>#wrapper .nav

ie6

#ie6anddown .nav

this allows you to define the behavior of the site depending on which browser is displaying it.

i'll try to take a closer look later but i'm about to go out now.
