1) Script Title: Bullet List Accordion Menu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordionmenu-bullet.htm

3) Describe problem:
I seem to be having a host of problems getting this menu to format right in IE6. It works, it just doesn't look too pretty. The foremost problem I'm having right now is that all of my various styles are only being applied to the first two items in the menu (in IE6 only, IE7 and all other platforms I've tested it on are working fine). From "launch verification" and on, the proper styles are not being applied. I can't seem to figure out what's going on. Any suggestions?

Here is a page with the menu in action:

http://www.bluetears.com/tbg_test/aer/AER036_public_template_2column_V02.html

And the CSS for the menu is all at http://www.bluetears.com/tbg_test/aer/css/ac_menu.css

Also, in IE6 alone... the content area seems to be getting pushed a bit to the right by the menu. That's a smaller problem, but I can seem to figure out where that's coming from either. Stripping out all of the padding didn't seem to fix the issue. I'd appreciate any suggestions for that as well.

Lastly lastly, any IE-specific fixes are going to need to live in a separate stylesheet. That's the last big roadblock with this. I seem to be incapable of setting that up properly.

Thanks for any help!

Just as an update if anyone has any ideas...

I managed to fix most of the issues with IE6 and styles with some trial and error. There's just one remaining: the background colors for both open and closed are not showing up properly in IE6. This is really only noticeable on the 2nd and 3rd levels of the menu (since everything else is white). Take a look at "specialty centers" and "CORDS" for examples of ones where the background colors aren't working right.

Here's the most current versions of the files now:

Thanks for any suggestions
