Yeah, I think most companies still has to support it. :)

The menu-ie6.js is the JS that is needed to fix IE6 issues. There are two major
pain points with IE6
that it fixes:
- IE6 doesn't support :hover on anything but <a>. For the menu hover needs to
work on <ul> as well
- in IE6, Select dropdowns burn through all layers, so if your menu covers a
Select, the Select will
still be visible. fix-menu-ie6.js resolves this through the well-known "hidden
iframe hack"
Generally when the menus doesn't appear it's either that the menu head elements
isn't rendered, or
that the macro that renders the menu, doesn't have the correct menu ID.
Things to check
- Does the page render markup like this:
Click.menu.fixHiddenMenu("rootMenu");
Click.menu.fixHover("rootMenu");
The "rootMenu" argument above is the ID of the menu.
- Does the rendered menu have a matching ID attribute for it's <div> wrapper.
Something like:
<div class="menustyle" id="rootMenu">
....
</div>
I've found the most common issue is if the ID's don't match.
Does this help?
Kind regards
Bob
