Consistently vanishing menu on scrolled down link click on Firefox, working fine on IE.

What you're trying to achieve is such a PITA...that's why you don't see it too often. Cross browser compatibility is one of the most frustrating things in web development.

I've officially stopped supporting IE6

heh....i've stopped IE all together. i'm almost to the point where I want to set up a world wide boycott on every web site....where users that access a page are presented with a FireFox download...

Sometimes now though when I click on a link after scrolling, the menu box vanishes... Is that a typo issue on my part, or just a glitch that will happen?

It's a glitch, but one you can take care of. The reason the box is disappearing is because "absolute" position is based on the document, while "fixed" is based on the window. To take care of this, we need to tell IE to use "absolute" and everyone else to use "fixed". To do this, just update the "position: absolute;" on col1 & col3 to look like this:

<!--[if IE]>
position: absolute;
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]>
position: fixed;
<![endif]-->

I am so right there with you...I would LOVE to stop supporting IE6, but on the game, 23% of our users use it (a serious pain since it's so ajax/dhtml heavy).

Done and done! I love it! Easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing. Even got a favicon up there now (I'll try and make a better one another day, but its still cute for now).

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm always surprised at how many people still use Internet Exploder. Drives me nuts that certain sites like Netflix view now etc won't work with anything else. Bleh. Catering to Exploder is a pain. Needing to find Exploder because a site doesn't care for superior browsers is a pain. Not as many of them around as there used to be though.

Ok, I've tried to fix this myself and am at a loss again, so just this last thing or two I swear and I'll let you guys alone, promise!

I assume the lightbox I use for the galleries is being messed with by the menu code. Ever since I fixed and validated all the pages, when you click on a gallery thumbnail it still works but sometimes it jumps all the way to the bottom of the page. The lower on the page the thumbnail, the further it jumps.

The other thing seems to be that the menu is cutting off for some people, something about overflow. The one who told me about this is using a laptop, I don't know if that has something to do with it or not.
