You have in this sheet
index.php?title=MediaWiki:Monobook.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=te
xt/css&smaxage=18000
groups of selectors like
div#p-navigation.portlet li a,
div.portlet[id="p-Zeno.org"] li a,
div#p-tb.portlet li a
IE 6 does not understand the second selector and seems to ignore the whole
rule including it.
(Note: IE 6 also has problems with selectors including both id and class,
this is called multiple #id.class bug and documented in the wiki, so I would
remove the ".portlet" part in the above, since it is probably redundant, but
this is not your actual problem...)
Of course you cannot immediately change the [id="p-Zeno.org"] with a normal
# selector because of the
dot inside the id name. If you cannot change this name, you can try to
escape the dot, IE 6 seems to understand div#p-Zeno\002Eorg in place of
div[id="p-Zeno.org"] ("." expressed as unicode \002E, probably a simpler \.
also works, I'm not sure.)
All this accounts for the missing styles in your left bar.
Then there are other problems, as you have already noticed, that can
hopefully be fixed giving hasLayout to some elements. Both inline-block and
width that you have used are hasLayout triggers [1]. On your links is
probably better to avoid width:100% because they have a non zero right
margin and such width will cause further problems on their containers.
I haven't really looked further.
