If you're talking about the actual drop-down portions of the menu not working, it's because the overflow command is broken in IE6. IE6 does not properly display overflow properties (in this case overflow: visible to allow the dropdown menu to be shown). Unfortunately there is no easy fix. You can search on the web for some CSS Hacks for IE6 to try and fix the overflow issue, but they do not work with every case. Good luck.
