IE6 pushing header content down. I'm dying here!

Hello, everyone. I'm hoping someone on the board can help me figure this out.

This weekend I was able to get a Flash placeholder into the header of my new blog (http://www.partywithtabs.com), and it appears to display correctly in all browsers except IE 6.

For some reason IE 6 is pushing down the search bar and nav below the header as in this browsershots screenshot:

This is driving me crazy. I've been wrestling with it for hours.

Does anyone know what might be happening here?? I'm assuming it's due to one of IE6's box model bugs, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Hey,

I started out working on your problem

The different elements are positioned individually

looks like you are working it over too, so here is what I started with

<style>
div#topmenu {position: absolute;}
div#header {margin-bottom: 50px;}
</style>

Here are some suggestions for using Firefox with the Firebug and Web Developer addons for working with css
