Display:
Looks good in Firefox and Safari for Mac OS 10.3.6.  In IE 5.2.3 Mac 
the two red bars, your nav menu, and contact info are all appearing way 
out on the right, outside of the black bordered container.  Resizing 
the window to make it smaller pushes everything back in, but your 
navigation images are overlapping the black bordered page container.  
You might want to try wrapping the entire page in a wrapper or 
containing div.

Suggestion:
I vowed never to user graphics for menus ever again.  You might want to 
try using text for your nave menus instead.  It will be much easier to 
update in the future, more accessible, and faster loading, in most 
cases.

Try this:
<!-- html -->
<ul>
	<li><ahref="aboutresults.html">about results</a></li>
	<li><ahref="publications.html">out publications</a></li>
	<li><ahref="contact.html">contact us</a></li>
</ul>

You can then write styles to make the text red and bold using <span>, 
so:

<ul id="navmenu">
	<li><ahref="aboutresults.html">about <span 
class="bldred">results</span></a></li>
	<li><ahref="publications.html"><span class="bldred">out</span> 
publications</a></li>
	<li><ahref="contact.html">contact <span 
class="bldred">us</span></a></li>
</ul>

In some cases graphics are necessary for certain effects, but in your 
case a simple unordered list would work great.  Have a fun weekend.
