It's a real pain that one problem can have so many causes, glad to hear you got yours sorted out. Ellison,

Thanks for the additional fix. It’s a real pain that one problem can have so many causes, glad to hear you got yours sorted out.

The UL, its list-items, and their anchors were all block displayed and floated left. I tried some of these solutions, but none of them worked, and the others weren't feasible for my layout. What did eventually work was to give the UL "overflow: hidden" style. This nudged the DIV perfectly right underneath the UL. Hope this helps someone else :) I had a similar problem where I was building a horizontal tabbed menu bar that consisted of a UL followed by a DIV to be displayed right below it, and IE6 would add around 15px of white space between the UL and the DIV.
