And note:From the HTML 4.01 Specification:
Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.

But that site uses TABLEs for layout and that's very bad. Keeping in mind that you might not be able to duplicate things exactly using proper HTML, what exactly is it about that menu that is eluding you?
