There's nothing wrong in IE6 that isn't just as wrong in any other
browser, so you can test in any of today's browsers by applying font
resizing.
The script-induced positioning of dropdowns (second level menu items)
isn't dynamic - doesn't adjust when subjected to font resizing at the
user end without reload, which may lead to overlapping or non-reachable
dropdowns in all browser.
That's the only on-screen problem that page has, and that hasn't changed
since your last round.
You can either make the javascript dynamic - adjust 'top' without
reloading, or you can leave that positioning to CSS - which is dynamic
by nature and will override the script when 'top: 100%' is declared with
high enough specificity.
You can of course also choose to ignore the problem - write it off as
something that only happens under rare conditions, since you apparently
haven't been able to see it as a problem in any of the browsers you have
available. Again: the problem is *not* restricted to IE6.
-------------
If you choose to fix it through CSS, then the addition of...
.suckertreemenu ul li ul{top: 100%!important;}
...will override the script and hit the right spot dynamically.
.suckertreemenu ul li ul li ul{top: 0!important;}
...is also necessary to prevent the script from messing up the position
further down.
In addition to that you'll need...
.suckertreemenu ul li a{white-space: nowrap;}
...to prevent overlapping of second-level menu items when some
first-level menu items wrap and become too tall.
IE6 doesn't respect declared width, so it will push the last first-level
menu items onto a new line when wrapping is prevented. That makes the
addition of...
* html .suckertreemenu ul li a{overflow-x: hidden;}
...necessary.
--------------
The non-valid source code and CSS parts are still there too, but those
are handled by browsers [error recovery] and don't disturb at the user
end. Should be fixed though.
