There are several things.
It appears that most of your paths are incorrect - they mostly seem to be local to your desktop rather than the web server. This goes for your stylesheets and images. I can't find the JS file on the server either.
Check ALL your paths for ALL files.
Also, code-wise you've got divs inside list items in your menu which is incorrect. List items (inline elements) cannot contain Divs (block elements). You've also got a table which is 107% wide. Elements can only be a maximum of 100% wide unless you actually want a scrollbar.

I don't use Dreamweaver I'm afraid - but I understand it has a built-in FTP programme to upload files to the webserver. You'll need to enter your webserver address, username and password to get access to your web server.
You'll need to correct all the paths in your file to ensure that they'll be able to find the files on the webserver so for instance where you've got paths like: href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/1-N-O-NE/My Documents/mm_training.css" (local path) you'll need to change it to whatever structure you have on your web server (which is up to you). Personally I put all CSS files in a CSS folder so a path might look like: href="css/yourcssfile.css".
Be careful with the errors I mentioned about having divs inside list items - that sort of error might cause rendering issues - apart from which it's just incorrect!

"http://www/505bc.com/css/mm_training.css"
Fix the above first. Your single slash after www should be a period and you still have files referencing your C: drive.
Just take a look at your code. You have many html spelling errors. ttp for instance should be http
If you are finding this difficult just buy a good book on HTML and study it.

Check that you've uploaded the stylesheet and the script file for the menu to the right places as when I look where you say they are - they aren't there.

Tailslide: doesn't Dreamweaver's FTP window show both locations? Shouldn't he be able to see his web on his hard drive in one window and his server web on another window? It seems obvious to me that it should be easy to see if the files are in the correct directories on the web. Maybe I am missing something here but that should be the easy part for him to fix. Now if I am wrong about Dreamweaver's ftp window then I would recommend another FTP program.

I have no idea - never used DW!! Just trying to point out where the issues are ending up in the hope that he/she know the programme well enough to solve them that end.
I'd have thought DW's FTP would show both - most proper FTP programmes do but I guess that's no guarantee.

When you created the Spry nav bar a new folder named "SpryAssets" should have been created. That folder and its content need to be published to the remote server. The folder contains the CSS and JS that control the menu.
