this is the page causing the problem (as you know):
http://www.americanmusclecars.nl/menu.html

when you call this in the frame, the frame itself is not given a hard pixel size -- you
allow the frame itself to resize....

you also allow the ligh blue box to float to the center of that frame...

but you position the chrome bar at the very right edge of the page...

so, what happens is that as users come to the site with different window sizes, the blue
box floats around, and the chrome bar gets drawn to the right edge, which on lower res
screens or smaller windows, will be on top of the blue box... resizing the window also
causes it to not stick to the edge of the frame...

i'd suggest that if you're going to stick with the frames, you code that frame to a fixed
width... this should take care of the issue...
