You used the regular dropdown exactly how I’m trying to, but mine’s all hosed in IE6 too. What were the "few tweaks" you mentioned above?

Thanks, Bob. I did try that, and it didn’t work. I’ll confess that I went so far as swiping your two stylesheets and substituting them for mine. Unfortunately, I’m still stuck. Thanks for giving it a shot, though. You also had a post that mentioned #IEroot, and I’ve tried that too. Also didn’t work.
The behavior I’m experiencing in IE6 is that any menu items that have children to put in a dropdown a) don’t drop down and b) get repeated directly below themselves.
Can anyone speculate that it would have anything to do with my wayfinder call?
) who might be able to help you if you could provide a URL to your problem site.
