I am working on a site for our school (web class) And because I know there are a few web/graphic guys on fites I figured this would be a good place to get suggestions.

This was the old site (look at the code, it's funny, and not mine)
http://easdpa.org/elementary/fulton/default.htm

This is what I have so far:
http://easdpa.org/elementary/fulton/dev/index.html

I'm looking for comments/suggestions, anything is welcome. There are still some things being worked out, like links and such, porting of info, etc.

Here is some backround info and such:
-site so far is xhtml tradtional/css validated.
-must use IIS (no PHP, they won't install it, same for sql)
-must be easily updated by anyone
-must be the cleanest code on the entire website (http://easdpa.org) which won't be that hard
-coded in dreamweaver, images done in photoshop/imageready cs2 (see line 4 of the code)
-MUST be easily viewed in 800x600 (all the elementary schools use it)


Thanks in advance!

edit: I'm not asking you to do my work or anything, I just wanna know what you have to say

edit2: on the sidebar there are going to be dhtml or java (whichever I figure out first) pullout menus for "departments" and maybe "highlights"

Your menu breaks apart in firefox

add hidden links... hehe

there are already some comments in code

Its not breaking apart because of rendering problems, its breaking apart because I set my own minimum font size. Your layout needs to scale with the commonly resizable elements on the page

Some element is being streched by the text size and breaking up your menu.

tekie 800x600 is for the dumbass people that never figure out how to change their res after they buy it from gateway.  (or any other manuf)

The elementary schools run some old educational software that geeks out whenever you set the screen higher than 800x600, my "target audience" is those schools.

They also run IE, enough said

If they are I am afeared!

just in the forums?  The header bar for the site is set for a 1024 res
