Need help with a IE6 issue

Hi,

I've got a menu that is not displaying correctly in IE 6 (no surprise). If it was anything like, I would be ok but it's pretty bad and I can't figure out how to fix it.

I made up a clean version here and the directories are browseable:
menutest.html

I used a CSS sculptor 2 col fixed left sidebar header and footer with added navigation div

I edited the header element to remove the padding and bottom border, ditto the navigation element

I also had to add height of 36px to navigation element properties otherwise the sidebar floated to the right of the menu.

Everything else is default.

I want the spacing on the menu items to be auto - it looks odd with the fixed 160 px width of the default menu writer layout when the amount of characters of individual menu items varies.

Did I screw up with the menu editing and is there a better way to achieve my design.

thx
