Thanks Ryan, that's a great article - I love Stu Nichols stuff! But not sure how I would implement it as it is only applied on the menu items which are list-items...?
But for now I have made it a fixed width - it's stopped the crashing, looks okay. Only sacrifice is that at 800 by 600 the last navigation item is dropping onto another line and looks funny. Thanks everyone for your help, suggestions and feedback.

David - these are HTML 4.0 pages because of the content management it is running off... so it doesn't seem to be just an XHTML problem. Hmmm... Irina - thanks for pointing out the background stuff when javascript is turned off... will be doing something about that!!

I have reason to believe that this only happens on XHTML documents. At least, one document I had coded as HTML 4 strict did not have this problem. This may not be a viable solution for you, but you may like to give it a try. Seems to be an IE6 on Win XP SP2 problem only. Again, I may be wrong. Needs testing. BTW - IE did not exactly crash for us - it simply locked up.
