He keeps claiming he's short of time to complete it, although he has
started it. Poor excuse if you ask me...

I've never used anything even close to the following, so I have no
idea if I'm way off the mark. Could you use overflow: auto on the
nave div?

He could, it works, and he don't like it. That's what I also suggested
before.

That's a good idea. I don't remember seeing your old suggestion: either
I missed it, or my newsfeed did.

I'll have to try that, perhaps using less contrasty colours for the
lower menus. Another possibility is to overlay a div containing an alpha
gradient PNG, but I'd have to watch background compatibility.

I think easiest would be absolute positioning gradient from transparent
to bluebackground on the bottom of the page, under/bottom of the menu. It
will make last shown menuitem hard/impossible to read, but that was not
the problem, right?

(of course this need to be hidden from IE)
