Sorry Tom, but as a person who does website design I have to say, UPGRADE ALREADY! Some of us hate having to account for a browser that is no longer supported. Plus, it is not as secure as later browsers.

Let me say, the site looks nice. Just not in Chrome (and thus, I assume, Safari since they use the same rendering engine) Did you validate your CSS and HTML? I would suggest validating your HTML(http://validator.w3.org/) and then your CSS (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) Valid HTML and CSS should render properly in any (modern) browser.

Here-here! Especially with that ugly PNG-transparency bug in IE6, I really don't think it's worth it to try to accommodate an outdated browser. They're already working on IE8, so the least you could do is upgrade to 7.
Same with FF. I designed mine for FF3. That's just the way it goes.

Don't get me wrong, if there are just a couple of issues, go for it. But don't make your whole design work around older browsers.

It depends on your audience, like I said, I don't like doing it, I have to for work. We encourage users to use ie 7 right now but their hardware might not run it so we have to support down to ie 5 or something like that. It is a nightmare!

Be careful designing for FF3, yes it is great but realize that a portion of us use Webkit based browsers and the VAST majority use IE based.

I figured I'd get a response or two like that.

I would love to upgrade, or use firefox/chrome. Unfortunately, I am at the mercy of a corporation with several hundred thousand employees, and they are all stuck in the boat I am. Firefox/chrome is not allowed, and the computers are locked down to prevent any changes. Not too much I can do about it.

I do not know the requirements for the competition. I hope none of the judges operate under the same restrictions we do here at Ford.

Yeah, I didn't think about people who couldn't upgrade.

And when I said I code for FF3, I don't mean explicitly over IE. Just in preference of FF2.

The CSS menu is pretty quirky in FF 3.1b2.

When you click on the picture menu on the left a dashed line borders the image, would look better IMHO if you took the dashed line away.

Code:
.yourclass A:link {
        COLOR: #FFFFFF;
        TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}

Quick question, when you shrink the browser screen. All the text and stuff messes up. How do you fix that? I am not a webpage guy but I am helping out with the site.

Thanks CD in advance. We will be making some changes as soon as we get everything uploaded, mainly the pics.

Flow layouts are tricky. Putting the menu inside a DIV with a fixed width value should stop the menu from collapsing down.

The min-width value should fix the problem in FF though.
