Hopefully someone can help me with this. IE6 is driving me nuts. I have a Joomla! Template that the main menu works perfectly in every browser that I have checked except IE6. I'm sure it has something to do with the styling of the li and ul styles. Can someone take a look at it in IE6 compared to FF and tell me what I am doing wrong?

iepngfix.htc is causing the problem.

I made a local copy of the page and it couldn't access that file, the menu looked fine, but there was a large gray area from one or more png image(s) I assume are being used as background in the header area.

Knowing how many of these png fix things work, if you gave the image tags in the menu the actual dimensions (width and height attributes) of the images, that might fix it.

Another possibility - Since the images in the menu (the 'buttons' like welcome.png, etc) don't appear to require alpha transparency, perhaps the simplest solution (if it works) would be to replace them with .gif images. That may or may not take care of the problem though.

Another approach would be to abandon iepngfix.htc, and work with the alpha image loader filter only for your png images that require it on an individual basis.
