You could also try eliminating the absolute positioning altogether, and 
float the menu and content. Something like this:
#upperbox{  /*position: absolute;  top: 0;  left: 0;*/ }
#subbox{ padding-left: 150px;/*position: absolute; top: 90px; 
margin-left: 150px; */  }
#content { float: left; margin-left: 90px;    /*margin-left: 
240px;position: absolute;  top: 140px; */    }
#navcontainer{  float: left;}
Regards,
~dL
