Hi all,
I would like to request someone take a look at my work as of thus far, codewise, and tell me if i'm doing this economically. I think it's mostly right, however, if i have a series of huge mistakes lining themselves up for disaster, it's better to catch it early on, right? I dont know if anyone has time or interest in taking a look at this, but if you do, i emphasize, i have created 2 images, and only 2 images, the logo.png on the district pages, and the welcome.png, also on the district pages, which will change frequently. They gave me all the other graphics and said i had to use them, so the ugliness factor, that's all my bosses. Also, the background color.. all my bosses :/.. i argued for a neutral color.
The three main pages i would like to get info are, one, on the index.htm page, two, district.php, and three, my css files. This is probably asking too much, again, i emphasize, but a quick lookover by someone far more proficient than me could still probably pick apart a bunch of mistakes, assuming im doing it wrong.
link to the website:
clinton.k12.mo.us/website/index.htm

link to the files zipped:
clinton.k12.mo.us/website/csd.zip

my two questions come after you have probably looked at it, 1: what file other than png will do alpha rendering on webpages? or moreso, can u insert a png that is more compatible with older browsers with transparency?
2:my drop down menus are driving me nuts. They wont click in place, and i cant find whatever identifier i need to change it up or down from the selection. The problem seems to come from divs, if i dont use divs, it doesn't do that. Ive tried two different drop down menus, and to no avail, they both did this.
Basically, the further down from the top i pull my links by a div, the further away the drop down menus go.

Thanks so much for the help,
keith

GIF of course. IE 6 and below cannot render PNG transparency w/o some scripting.

I would suggest trying a NON-javascript method for your dropdown menus. There are 37 examples here -- all will work w/o all that scripting:

You could also do without all that absolute positioning, it causes problems all by itself. You can accomplish the same layout with floats and using the normal document flow.
