Low Resolution
I have a friend. He has a website. He also has a problem: when his pages are viewed on lower resolutions, the page causes the lower-resolution users' browser to make that ugly horizontal scrollbar come into effect. Which is bad.
This (I think) is mostly caused by the images he keeps atop as his header. Now, this could be helped by replacing it with an text header, but I'm afraid that wouldn't be the most accomodating solution, as he doesn't want it that way. Is there another feasible solution?
The website in question can be located here: [link]
Thanks.

Oh, and if you know of a "quick fix" for his CSS non-compliant-ness, I'd appreciate that, too.

if the scrollbar appears at 800x600 with just a little nudge its ok, but a long scroll where almost 1/3 of the page is eaten up then its bad,

From what I can see, it's the header images that is pushing the page out.
Try getting rid of one or both of the "NY Education Jobs" images and it should help fix the problem.

Change the fixed width of the header image into %. Then it will change as the resolution changes. Take a look at my home page in my signature link, the large picture on the front page works that way. It looks best at 800x600 and 1024x786 of course, but it will fit into 1600x2400, and dosent look too bad. It could look worse, especially if it were no bigger than a postage stamp. You have to base the % on the actual width of the picture as it looks normally, I think mine was something like 85%.
