SSI HTML display problem

Hi there,

I'm a total noob to this and have kinda hit a stumbling block when doing my most recent project.

Basically the navigation is setup using ssi, when certain pages load the navigation doesn't display correctly, however after I hit F5 it fixes itself.

There doesn't seem to be any way to replicate it, it just happens on random pages.

AFTER http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4278/afterf5kf4.gif

The pages can be accessed at

Please shed some light on why this is happening and how i'm able to fix it.

In anticipation.....

When you use ssi you don't include the doctype and everything inside of the include. You have done this. This is likely part of the problem. The other problems are you used tables for page layout. Read the link in my sig titled "Why Tables for Layout is Stupid?". Also read the sticky about doctypes.
