1) Don't use frames.

http://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html (see under "Your page uses
frames")

2) When Javascript is disabled, there *is* no menu.

3) I'd say it's probably something to do with the absolute positioning,
but your design needs rethinking anyway.

So that no one can read it, instead of just those who use IE? You're
trying to fix the wrong problem.

A common problem with frames, among the many others. Ditch the frames.

my be the solution to use image text buttons.

An extremely bad idea. Not only are text images not resizable they are
usually of very bad quality.

I also notice you have specified font size in pixels, and a ridiculously
small number of them. I like my font around 14 to 16 pixels high, not 10.
Your site is unusable for me.

any idea how to do that?

Convert the page to a simple CSS layout and specify the width of the nav bar
in ems. That way the nav bar will expand with the font size.

Cheers
Richard.

You probably need to set a width in ems for the menu division. Oh
wait, it's a frame.

I cannot see any menu at all. What do you plan to do for the ~15% of
your visitors who don't have JavaScript available?

...or maybe that my browser is not in your list.

Maybe the solution is to use CSS-styled regular text for links instead
of that large script you want to execute?

Why do you make it so difficult?
