First suggestion. The menu table on the left, don't make it using percentages. It needs to be the same size always right? So why use persentages? To get your text "up there" you need to use css. add this between the head tags.

<style type="text/css">
.upthere
{
position:absolute;
left: 250px;
top: 200px;
}

and the following arround the text that you want to position.

<div class="upthere">CONTENT GOES HERE THAT YOU WANT TO BE AT 250 pixels left and 200 pixels from the top.  You need to adjust the first block of code, to fit your situation.</div>

And take off the flashing before I go insane. Bad flashing stuff.

Flashing = BAD Other than that, simple but not bad ... minus the flashing.

I'd bung the JavaScript into a seperate file, then bung the CSS into a seperate file, this will leave the base template easier to manage.

Get rid of the table for the menu, use a styled list. and then float the menu DIV to the left of your content DIV and you'll get a nice flow to your page.

CSS is fun, learn, use & enjoy

Do you know how do what monaghan suggested or do you need help with the code? No offence, if you know what your doing.

EDIT: As a side note. Is there a reason why kewlhosting.org is down?
