Method 2: Using Tables

To produce a page that complies with what the client wants, you could produce a page using border-less tables. The menu would need to include javascript to be able to get the required effect. Programing in Javascript is quite difficult, though programs such as Dreamweaver and FrontPage have tools that write such code automatically for you. The table for the page might start by looking something like what is shown below (The borders of the table are shown for illustrative purposes only. The border thickness would be set to zero in all places where no border was needed to have the desired effect):

Table - based web-site

The page would be repeated and saved for each page in the site,as with the other methods.

Considering the difficulty of using this method I advise you to use one of the other methods, unless you have experience using Dreamweaver or FrontPage to make use of Javascript for the menu bar.
