Hi, yourself...
If you'll pardon the expression, the changes required are too many to 
/list/ here. Please see corrections and notes on the CSS file. Fwiw, no 
specific correction (hack) for IE/6 is needed.
Cursory checked in Opera, FF, Seamonkey, IE /6, IE /7, and IE/8.

In a restaurant, a menu is simply a list of items you can purchase to 
eat, drink, and get sick on.
In html an unordered list (ul), or an ordered list (ol), are a list of 
items (regardless if the list is set vertically or horizontally), too. 
In your site, I suppose you might sat they are a list of destinations 
within the site a user might go.
If it is more clear to you to change the id from #menu to #destinations 
(or whatever you like) do so.
