Because li:hover is not supported in IE < 7.
Therefore, IE 6 does not acknowledge
ul.top ul li:hover{ position: relative; }
at all.
Because of this, the li is never positioned in IE 6 now.
Thats wrong.
It has to be positioned in order to establish the containing block for
the absolutely positioned submenu.
so you need a technique that allows to position the li on hover only.
thats the reason why I brought suckerfish into play.
