I can't edit that post, but here is the updated CSS for the menu which for some reason in IE6 jumps out of the screen way to the right...

WHy should you care about IE 6.
It is outdated, and there are very few people using ut anymore...

Are you serious? IE6 is still the most popular browser. Barely anyone is updating to IE7. Sucks for web designers, like me.

Well because they still consist of over 80% of the people that visit this site. IE7 works, but I need the menu to work correctly for IE6 users as well.

Trust me I hate IE and DO NOT use it, but I am not everyone, I am the minority.
