Same here with IE 5.5 under 800x600, even when the window is maximized.
Starting to understand why pro web developers hate using frames!  I agree
with Bryan, adjust the left frame by ~10 pixels and the horizontal scrollbar
should go away.

Maybe if you centered the contents of the left frame, it might look a little
better under a variety of resolutions.  That way, under 1024x768 you
wouldn't notice as much whitespace where the scrollbar would be in 800x600.

Nope. He can't. In NS 6.2 and NS 4.7 there is a scroll bar in the 
nav frame and if the nav frame is shrunk anymore, there would not 
be enough room for the scroll bar and the buttons.

I also get a horizontal scroll bar in the nav frame in IE6 SP1 if the 
IE window is not maximized. So if anything it needs to be nudged a 
bit wider, maybe 10 px.

One other thing John. In NS 6.2, there are some pretty funky things 
happening with the navigation buttons. The second from the bottom 
(C2dbBEBuild) overlaps the majority of the bottom 
one(C2DbsysVars)

I'll send a screen shot off-line, so you can see what I mean.

Other than that, I'll agree with the rest of the comments

Other browsers tested in and look fine.

Mozilla 1.2.1
K-Melon 0.7 (Mozilla based)
