    Can you post the page the problem appears on?


    Apologies it was late, I'm blind :)

    Seems to be the absolute positioning for the ul dropdown class that is causing the problem.

    I don't have access to IE6 right now, but I had a look at your css and I think you may need a ul.dropdown li a{height:1%;} for IE6 only in either a separate stylesheet or using the * html hack.

    Here's some pages that can show you better how to implement it in your preferred way.

    It's also a little buggy at the moment in firefox 3.5 when trying to go from the menuparent to the dropdown. The dropdown dissappears quite often.

    Edit: It's also way to the right in ie8 in both compatibility and normal mode. I'll have another look at the css...

    Menu is not working right in FF either. The dropdown appears but when you go to scroll over it it disappears.

    I'm not sure how much any of this will help, but:

    A. there's errors in the code, an unnecessary li before the FAQs li,

    B. do you really need both the divs nav_wrap and nav surrounding the ul?

    C. the ul is absolutely positioned which I think is necessary, but I aslo think that the li's need to be positioned relatively (I think this may give you the most joy)

    Hope any of this helps!!
