Ron -

A majority of your Netscape and IE users might have their JAVA disabled on their browsers which will make your menu INVISIBLE to these visitors. JAVA applets are notorious for slowing the computer down and there is no reason to use them. I didnt realize until now when I actually looked at your code, that you were using JAVA Applets. I would seriously think about redoing this, at least in JavaScript which is far more stable. Remember, JAVA Applets and JavaScript are two totally different animals.

JAVA Applets are also sited for causing computer crashes on PCs and on MACS. Many disable it altogether from their browsers. This will result in NO MENU at all, but the rest of the page will appear. On my machine, I get warnings in Netscape but it works fine in IE. Still, I think the whole thing the menu is shooting for is flawed as well.

In addition, this affects MACs even worse than PCs (but both ARE affected). And I believe that Netscape is even more hampered. You can accomplish almost everything better with JavaScript that you can with JAVA Applets. Let me know if you have any questions.
