What text content are you referring to? Both IE6 and other browsers show
the image on the right (a man) quite parallel to any text that I can see.

This is interesting, still analyzing why. The fix is to give the
div#footer hasLayout [1].
#footer { /* hasLayout trigger */
height:1%;
}

The IE6 style sheet has the text with this color
ul#cssmw li span a {background-color: #7D201C;}
but in the main style sheet you the same color as the background color
of the div#mainNav.
#mainNav {background-color: #7d201c;}
There is possibly other issues with this menu and IE6. The above should
give you a start.
