Does your page validate...? You do set the .menubar text to white, so it is logical that some of the text is white (a suitable background-color should be set in case the background-image does not show), but providing all tags are closed then I guess this should be OK.

Just glancing over your CSS, it looks like these two rules:

.menuitem a:link,a:visited { ... .menuitem a:hover,a:active { ...

Should really be...

.menuitem a:link, .menuitem a:visited { ... .menuitem a:hover, .menuitem a:active { ...

?
