There seems to be something amiss with the Black Brant II page. Maybe
the image is too wide? Anyway, it obscures the menu.
The authorised dealers page, seems to have some sort of sub table in
it. Maybe it's meant too, but most of the other pages don't have it.
Same with the updates page.
When you first click on available kits and instructions, the menu
collapses out OK, but there's nothing on the main page other than the
title. I don't know if that's intentional, but it's a bit
disconcerting.
You get a page not found if you click on updates or instructions from
the menu while in the available kits page.
Hope that helps.

I've also got two scroll bars on that page; one from my browser, and one
inside the page itself. The one in the page scrolls the image, and the
menu is chopped off at the bottom of the title bar (as Darren pointed out.)
When I fly over a menu button it shifts to the right, causing it to line
up with the sub-menu items. Slightly confusing.
The Updates page also has two scroll bars; the in-the-page one scrolls
both the content and the menu up below the title.
The Aerobee Hi instructios page has two scroll bars.

Yeah, but it's in italic, so still discernable.
P.S. I should have mentioned I was looking at the site in Firefox 1.0

Any page that needs to scroll horizontally has this 'feature'. I have no
idea why, but will find out and get ride of it. thanks.

I have the menus set up to do this. Should I remove the effect?
Thanks

Lose the main <div> tags and it goes away -- it's apparently a function
of how the browsers handle that outer <div>.
BTW, happens in both IE and Firefox.

Does not work with AOL for MAC. I'll take a look at it with the IBM later.

Well, just because I don't like it isn't a reason to get rid of it. If
it's intentional then it's up to you. I'm just picky, sometimes. ;)

It's just wierd, in my book. Maybe a preference thing, but it seems odd
to me, to see it jump around like that.

I'm not sure what this means, I don't have have any tables in that page.
Can you elaborate?

This is one of the pages I need to add content to.

Sorry, I meant to say frame, rather than table.
