The problems I had making suckerfish work almost outweighed the benefits when I was working on ESPE <http://escorprivateequity.com.au>, but I persevered, and the result was worth it.

It's been a long time now, and I'm pretty sure there are some areas where my CSS could improve, but it's a working model of what can be done. I think I started getting better results (and a fix for the Safari bug) when I switched to fixed positioning.

Again, it's been a while, so I'm not sure exactly what techniques I used, but things got a lot better when I fixed the position of the nav, but it's still not perfect... I prefer the way it looks under Mozilla et al, but as long as the client was happy with it's look under IE, then who was I to complain?

This one has me really stumped. Doesn't help not having a copy of Windows to test with, but oh well.

Basically, I'm trying to use the Suckerfish technique to get the dropdown menus that my school is insisting on using to work in IE. In IE 6, at least (haven't been able to access IE 5.5), the menus seem to go down an extra 30px, but it's needed in other browsers to make sure the menus don't overlap.

If anyone else can suggest an alternate navigation method, that would probably be easier.
