Including forums in tables

Hi. I’m trying to figure out the best to make this scenario without using frames. I simply want the top of my page to be a menu, and the bottom to be the content. So, my first thought was to make a table of 2 rows and include like this http://duke3donline.com/test.php:

<html>
	<head>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://duke3donline.com/duke.css" type="text/css">
		<title>Poda's Duke3D Site</title>
	</head>
	<body bgcolor="#000000" topmargin="0" leftmargin="6">	
		<table align = center border="0">
    		<tr>
        		<td><?php include('http://duke3donline.com/header.php'); ?></td>
    		</tr>
    		<tr>
        		<td><?php include('http://duke3donline.com/forum'); ?></td>
    		</tr>
		</table>
	</body>
</html>

My header looks ok, but my forum is all jacked up. It’s like none of the links or styles are applied. Is there some other way I can accomplish this?

The main reason is because my forum is annoying me. For example, right now, I simply use a header that all pages include. But, if you go to here

http://duke3donline.com/forum

Compare the menu to this one

http://duke3donline.com

The first thing that annoys me is there slightly more space between the top banner and the menu. The next thing that annoys me on the forum is when you click on my menu, it puts the outline box around the buttons, but on my other pages, doesn’t do that. The final thing is on my forum, it messes up my button sub-menus. For instance, if you highlight Meltdown, you will see the right border is missing and the submenu looks messed up. But, on my other pages, the menu looks fine, using the same exact code. I just can’t for the life of me find out why this is happening.

I just realized in FireFox, the drop down menus don’t even work on my forum page, but work on the other pages. I don’t get what my forum could be doing to mess this up.
