i have been dabbling with webdesign over the years. i stumbled in the abyss that is browser hacks and gave up for the better part of a year.

the past 2 days have been spent rebuilding my ham radio club's website - i'm not a big fan of js, but it has it's place.

thought i'd throw the home page out there - no sub pages have been coded, but that should be easy to finish up.

let me know what you think - it validates ;)

First, PM a moderator and get this moved to the site review forum... it's in the wrong thread (don't crosspost pleeease)...

Now that that's out of the way :D I like it! Nice clean code, and I dig the vintage-y color scheme. Some people might not like the js menu, but I say it works for me...

I'm curious how the sub pages will go as there isn't too much separation between the content and the "sidebar" area, but I don't think it'll be too much of a problem.

Nice work :)

Clean, simple, well coded; excellent piece of work!
I have serious reservations against drop-down menus, especially since you have no sub-pages yet, but at least it works well and looks good. Do remember to provide an alternative for people that don't have JavaScript enabled or available.

sorry for posting in the wrong forum -

the reason i dislike js is having to make an alternative available, but that is part of the fun. for the most part, the 2 div boxes on the right will have specific details or links to more resources.

i modified the code before going to bed and now it does not validate - line 2 is going on about a /> problem - can't seem to fix it.

The doctype is the only bit in XHTML that doesn't get the trailing slash...

So change it to <!DOCTYPE html ... etc ... whatever.dtd"> and it should work.
