Menu works in FF, not in IE6

Question

This is most likely a simple fix for the guru types....take a
look at
http://www.ngms.state.ms.us/history
in FireFox and you will see the shell of a new history site for the
Misssissippi National Guard (this is still early beta). Look at it
in IE and you see it is very broken. The menu was ripped from
http://www.ngms.state.ms.us/campshelby,
while other parts were ripped from
http://www.ngms.state.ms.us/cmts.
I did a save-as to pull the menu from the campshelby menu,
and renamed the .css file and .js file to match. CS3 changed the
links...validity reports/browser compatibility checks ring up ok.
I can't program my way out of a wet paper sack, but I know a
good content management tool when I see it (CS3 on XP Pro)....I
have been a fan of .lib and CSS for a while, but building sites
isn't my primary gig.
Can someone point out the error of my ways?
