FP+EW+DHTML=you tell me? - 3/28/2007 11:34:33
This is a redesign of an old site, I added some css from EW, then ventured into my first DHTML menu. Any thoughts?

I noticed you've got the layer tag in there - that's an old defunct Netscape tag, no longer understood by modern browsers (far as I know). Did you mean to use a div tag? It may be slight confusion because Dreamweaver and EW insist on calling divs "layers" (just to confuse people!) but thought I'd mention it just in case!
Code-wise there are a few errors in there - mainly because you've "closed" a lot of the tags (not counted how many) which is contrary to the DOCTYPE you're using (HTML 4.0) in which you don't bother to close tags. You could try to swap the HTML 4 one for an XHTML 1.0 Transitional and see if that gets rid of the validation errors (if it matters to you!).
Other than that I think my only 3 criticisms would be firstly that the DHTML menu isn't keyboard navigable so you might want to have link to a sitemap or something to help people get around the site who aren't using a mouse. Secondly, you're using images for big chunks of your content which is a bad idea for a couple of reasons (not accessible without images, search engines can't read them and it's a real pain to change them!). Thirdly - personally I don't like those moving menu things that float down the page (but that might just be me!).
Looks-wise - it's fine. Maybe make the light reflection bit on the two big boxes slightly smaller so that it's a similar depth to the reflection on the green box?

very nice. only part I don't like is how the navigation bar protrudes from the table. conceptually it is neat though
