Well, for anyone there that has problems with "Superfish Menu" in IE6, I think I found at least one reason why it won;t work. The site I am working on has the "ajax header rotator" which uses Jquery. I took it out of the site and the superfish menu started working again like a charm (well, not like a charm because it's ugly on IE6, but nothing I can;t fix in CSS).
At the same time, I also noted that the Ajax header rotator was not rotating in IE6 either. I looked at the code and the AHR uses jquery-1.2.3.pack.js while the superfish menu uses: jquery-1.2.6.min.js. I went to the AHR script (I am using Joomla) and I took out the line that loads the jquery script. Now Superfish works fine and the rotator still rotates fine except in IE6, where it didn't rotate before either anyway. Since now there is no Jquery file in the Ajax Header rotator module to conflict with anything anymore, I figure that the reason it doesn't rotate is elsewhere, but I least I got superfish to work. If anyone has a fix for making the Header rotator working on IE6, I am all ears, but I am posting this mostly to help others that may be pulling their hair like a was before. If you have the Ajax Header Rotator on your page or another Jquery mod using jquery-1.2.3.pack.js, odds are that your Superfish won;t work unless you take at least one of the JQuery files out.
