All other browsers seem ok, but IE 6 is giving my menu problems all of a sudden. Anybody have a pointer for me to correct? Here’s the site:

There are two things I spotted:

1) There is a parsing error on the body tag. There is an extra ‘a’ in there.
```
body {
    background: #000000 url(<a href="http://www.umbian.com/images/interface/bg-back-bottom.jpg">http://www.umbian.com/images/interface/bg-back-bottom.jpg</a>) no-repeat bottom center;
    font-family: "futura book condensed","arial narrow",Arial,helvetica,"sans serif";
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #666666;a
    behavior:    url("http://www.umbian.com/css/csshover.htc");
    }
```
2) It looks like a font size issue. You’re using some nicer condensed fonts in your font stack, but it looks like ie6 is using the non-condensed ones. Try another more condensed font that is more commonly available with older windows machines before Arial in the list.
