different page appearance after refresh in IE6

Hello all,

I was asked to update the css of an existing website, because the original builder hadn't heard of cross browser compatibility. I'm done with 99% of the job, but there's one thing that I just don't understand.

It's about this page:
-url removed-
When you open this page in anything else then IE6 everything works fine, but in IE6 a part of the sub navigation items of 'Practice Area' don't display all the time. Perform a refresh and you'll see they appear. Perform another refresh and you'll notice some are gone again. And this changes every time quite randomly.

Does anyone have an idea? Or does anyone have come across something similar?

About he navigation:
It's just a simple unordered list with nested lists for the sub navigation. The text you see are actually background images (the client really wants that font and I didn't want to use SIFR).

Thanks for your time,

Nevermind, I fixed it (and removed the url).

I added display:block in the Ie6 class definitions for the list items and it now seems to work allright. I don't understand why exactly, because they actually display inline. I'm guessing this is some Ie6 flaw I don't know of.

Or a possible browser cache error... Usually to try to refresh files or css you update on internet explorer, don't press F5 since it only refreshes the page accessed using the cache on your computer. However pressing Ctrl+F5 refreshes everything and requests all new files from the site to load... Just some tips for your editing next time...
