I'm more curious as to how I can or should clean up my code if anyone has any suggestions. please check it out here (http://www.icbars.com/rugby)
It's just a simple site not ment to be flashy or have fancy drop down menus or anything.
I'm re-teaching myself Dreamweaver since it's been a while since I've used it. Also on the Schedule page I want to add an Events calendar to the center area and if possible have say red dots or somthing to indicate that there is an event there and then the visitors can click on that day and maybe show a small popup with the event info in it.
thanks

Very much Dreamweaver-generated bloat-html. I would start again from scratch, but you'll need to know html to do that. Otherwise, there should be an html validation tool in Dreamweaver. It won't make it W3C proper valid but it's a start.
A few comments on the design:
1. the whole thing is too wide even on a medium size resolution.
2. The colours are scary. I assume these are your club colours, in which case I suppose you need to incorporate them into the site, but maybe with a little less (well actually a lot less) yellow and brown (that includes the scroll bars).
3. Does your news thing really need to be scrolling? It may look groovy but it's hard to read and does help uses with javascript switched off.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the input, as far as the news what do you think I should do? Add a seperate page or just update it at the bottom of the main page info? I did decide to remove the colored scrollbars, also how would I add a noscript function for the pictures to just load in the window if the user has javascript turned off?

For the news, what I do is show all of the latest news item (assuming it's fairly short), and for however many previous news stories I just display the title (or opening sentence if it's descriptive enough) and then link to it with 'more...'
As for detecting the lack of javascript, I believe there's a <noscript> tag where I guess you put appropriate content for when javascript is off, but I've never used it so you'll have to try it out yourself, or someone who knows at this forum has any ideas
