I would seriously remove that and also the traveling marquee. Both are
nothing but annoyances to visitors. Then, if you really wish the site to
be functionally dependable, validate the markup and learn how to fix any
errors. And get rid of any javascript unless you absolutely know how it
works and it actually contributes to the page.

As it stands now, that's a good example of a bad site.
