I don't know if this is a general browser bug, but I think you may have given 
me a clue to a rat of a problem I've been having with IE6.

I used a nested <ul> for a pop-up navbar supplied by Hilco Tim, which uses a 
table for IE6 only, and the dang thing refuses to work for me, yet his example 
is OK. It looks likely that this is being caused by an overflow problem too. I 
set a colored border round the nested <ul> and removed the :hidden attribute 
from the hover and I can see that all is there, but once hidden, the little 
s**t refuses to come out of hiding. <g>

I may try to resolve this as I have a deadline, but ultimately I will change 
the listing method, because Hilco's one does not validate, due to the table 
being within an anchor in the IE6 conditional.

Regards, 
 
Alan.

  Agh i figured this out.  The td element that was containing the #nav had 
  an overflow: hidden; with a set width.
  I thought if i positioned an element absolutely that it doesn't get 
  affected by overflow: hidden; from a higher level container?  Is that 
  not true?  Is this a Safari bug?
