IE6 Padding Problem

[Hartley]

Code in Question: http://andrewhartley.com/cb-test/

 

In all other browsers, the code displays fine. The area I'm looking at is the navigation bar with "Home, Scribe, Community". To minimize HTTP requests, I have one image that contains the map of header images, which is why it looks double buggy when it breaks. I don't know how to fix this, but it seems that the padding or initial position of the div container isn't the same as what it is in the other browsers. Here are the segments of code for these areas:

 

	<!--start header-->
<div id="header">
	<!--logo-->
	<h1 class="logo"><a href="#" class="logo">CastBuzz</a></h1>

	<!--top panel-->
	<div class="member">
		<div class="member-right"></div>
		<ul class="member-info">
			<li><p>Hello, Andy</p></li>
			<li><a href="profile.php?p=edit">Edit Site Profile</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">Log Out</a></li>
		</ul>
		<div class="member-left"></div>

		<!--top tabs-->
		<div class="tab">1</div>
		<div class="tab">2</div>
	</div>

	<!--top navigation-->
	<div class="topnav">
		<ul id="nav-menu">
			<li><a href="#" class="nav-home">Home</a></li>
			<li><a href="#" class="nav-scribe">Scribe</a></li>
			<li><a href="#" class="nav-community">Community</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>
</div>
<!--end header-->

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Smashing magazine just had an article on CSS sprites, and there's probably a lot of references to code you can look at there:

I noticed while reading some of the tutorials that IE does have issues, so some reading should point out the problem so you can fix it.
