Well I'm at it again. Trying to make a website I like that other people like too.

No links work except anchors and links to home.

Not to sound harsh but I know panther893 doesn't like it :P

I tested it in firefox, opera netscape and explorer

In explorer the menu centers itself in the cell.

noscript was tested with firefox.

I like it. The square patterns are very nice, and the corners are... certainly unusual. I find the paler greens a little sickly, but I really like the fadey different-coloured-submenus idea. And the code's nice & valid! Good work.

not a bad design, its not IT oriented but not a bad design non the less...

The code may be valid (with XHTML 1.0 Strict none the less) but you are still using tables for design! Cut out the needless markup and switch over to the div/css method. Don't use tables for design: Why tables for layout is stupid
Yes, I know, it is an often posted link in devshed, but the lesson is important to anyone who is serious about web design.

Tables suck div are hard

HEHEHE its not that i dont like it, as a layout its not bad, but what im saying is its not very IT oriented

Haha I said that in the original post :P Just jokin panther :P You didn't like the original this was derived from. ah well can't win 'em all...or any so far

i think you have a good eye for design but what you need to do is make a design based oriented around your products, if you do clothes then clothes, if you do hosting then hosting, and so on...

Heh, I have had more than my share of grief switching from a table-based layout to a div-based one. Now I think about it, I really shouldn't have wasted so much time, since I ended up going back to what was pretty much my initial attempt at the div version.

CSS positioning alone still can't do all that tables can. Well actually, CSS2 can, because it has 'virtual table' values for the display property, but IE doesn't even come close to supporting that yet.

CSS1 does not have a proper method for creating lined up columns. There are workarounds, but they're not perfect. If you're working with a fixed-width, three column layout, switching to divs should not be a problem. I was trying to make a full-width layout, however, where there was a left hand column. I wanted the left column to size itself based on the size of its text content (which can vary from browser to browser), and for the main content column to have its left position start where the left column ended. Well let's just say tables were easier. I found a workaround, but it's not ideal. CSS is not yet perfect.

Hmm how's this for a start

I'm trying to figure out how to make the bottom of the dashed box reach the bottom of the page minux a few pixels no matter how much content is in there

and the menu with red dots is a little weird due to the list

can't forget to mention

Looks like a nice start.
One issue: I suggest you change your menu box's top property to a fixed measurement rather than a percentage. A short window results in the menu box hiding the heading text. You might want to specify the fixed value in em rather than px, so it's not fixed fixed, but is related to the text size instead of the browser height.

Yeah that worked thanks again for another good tip.

Very cluttered, nav hard to read, green is not a good colour, and it does not feel 'right' I'm sure the code is brilliant, but just being a good coder, does not make you a superb designer, brilliant valid code is not stunning design, try a nicer colour scheme.
