I’ve just checked with IE6.0 and it seems your modification did the trick: no more nasty horizontal scrollbars :-).

Oh !… the menu seems to be good for me in IE6 (it looks like it is in Firefox) but my title “photographies” is pulled on the right side of the windows and the horizontal scrollbar appears.
It’s because its position is absolute, so I must add a “left:0;”.
If you see a problem on your IE, and if you have 2 minutes, can you send me a screenshot please.

Awesome, thanks so much :-).

Makes me wonder why it did not show up when searching Google, perhaps I’m really too dim to pick up the right search terms ;-).

Btw, your photography site appears to be affected by the same bug. I checked your CSS file and you seem to do exactly in your menu, what is causing this problem (h2 is defined to use italic as font and the menu stretches over several lines).
