I'm certainly not very happy with the behavior in any browser, but this
gets Opera and IE6 pretty close to your example seen in Firefox 1.5.0.7
and Netscape 7.2...

Styles and script in page head.

Off-screen positioning with large em-values are known to create problems
- and they went in the wrong direction for an 'rtl' page. Thus, I
altered the off-screen positioning to go "neutral" - upwards instead of
sideways - and with more reasonable large px-values. This means that
changing form 'ltr' to 'rtl' doesn't require so many changes, but
positioning still must be changed from default (left) to 'right: nn' in
certain places in order to make that menu cross-browser reliable.

I noticed that Firefox and Netscape didn't produce a horizontal
scrollbar when needed, so I made Opera and IE mimic that weakness too by
declaring a 'width: 90%' on #nav. Not good I think, but you can always
delete that width.

Note that I used a proper doctype for that test page. XHTML 1.1 shall
not be served as 'text/html'.
