You're not using the bog-standard Maps API, but an add-on set of
"helper" functions, which is making debugging difficult. However, I
can see that there's a <body onload="load()"> but I can't find a
function called "load". There's a cmxMap.load(), which is already
called as part of cmxMap.js.
Firefox and IE6 tend to handle errors differently: Firefox will carry
on executing code if it can, whereas IE6 tends just to stop dead.
(I've no idea about IE7, as I don't run it, but it looks like it
behaves like Firefox.) I suspect this is what's happening here:
Firefox is encountering the "Can't find function load()" error but
it's not fatal, so the function cmxMap.load() carries on running and
you get a map; IE6 just stops *all* Javascript operations, so the API
is prevented from downloading map tiles, having got as far as setting
up the map.
All that's a bit of a guess, admittedly. What happens if you take out
the onload attribute from your body tag?
