But that's the version of HTML I know - it's still supported - this isn't

What's wrong with it?  I did a page similar to this (same techniques)
and I was told by Karl that it look fine.  If you send me (privately) 
an image I'll see what I can do to fix it.  It's probably something
simple.  What config of IE are you using?  Screen size? etc...

I see the menu system changing long term.  It we can get some real
content of the site it will have to change.  It will do for the moment,
unless most would like a fixed menu on the left.


BTW - take a look at it in a text only browser (lynx) I worked on that.
I tested it on all browsers that I own, Mozilla & lynx.
