Problems with IE6

hi there

I'm sure this is a simple one... my menu for some reason is not working in IE6 and just cascades down...

Could you have a look please:

interiors.php

many thanks

Try reducing the width of your menu div. It is wider than the containing div, so it may be rendered incorrectly in IE6.

Confused...

hi Jimmy

Thanks for your reply - is this in the CSSMenuWriter css or my own css ?...

... can't seem to find anything as you suggest

ok - found the problem - I have to set a width for Level 1... IE6 won't accept 100% or Auto as the width... which is a problem seeing as I need to have the same spacing between each menu item - what do you think ?...

Looks like that did the trick.

What I was referring to earlier was that if you have a surrounding box that is too small to fit the contents horizontally, IE6 will render the page differently from other browsers.
