IE6 lose track of what to calculate the margins from and position the
elements in relation to.
Adding a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger to the container...
#main {zoom: 1;}
...will give IE something "to hold on to".

#main ul li:hover {/* styles here */}
...will give you some styling-options. IE6 (and older) can't handle
:hover on anything but anchors though.
Another 'Layout'[1] problem in IE. Add...
#main ul li {zoom: 1;}
...to "stiffen up" IE's backbone. That'll provide stability in that bugger.

IE6 (and older win versions) can't handle 'position: fixed' at all.
Some possible workarounds here...

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers (which I am an expert
at providing :-) ).
Better correct the above, as asking for logic behind a browser-failure,
bug or similar, is somewhat stupid in most cases - according to my cat...

I don't think any of us mind helping when we have the time - as long as
no one expect us to build complete solutions and solve _all_ problems.
