Nope.

You have spaces in your filenames -

cu%20tabs/student%20tab.gif

Also -

#studentbanner {
background-image: url(cu%20tabs/bk.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
you don't need to position this absolutely since it is the first thing on
the page, and that's where it would be positioned by default. Just make
it -

#studentbanner {
background-image: url(cu%20tabs/bk.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 100%;

i dont underestand...why are my files named like that? thats not how I named them. why is this happening?
 
Murray *TMM* replied to VA_Webmaster25 on 24 Jul 2004
It is how you named them. You used spaces in the names. The %20 entities
are server encoded spaces. The best naming scheme for the web is all lower
case, letters and numbers, and no spaces or puctuation marks (except for
underscores and dashes).

I think the layout, colors and text are fine. Look nice.

From the other responce I see above I guess I will have to start to remove the 'spaces' in my files as well. lol

From an SEO perspective:
I'd also suggest that you take the text in the tabs out of the graphic
and use css to position it. Spiders can't see the text because it is a
graphic and because you use a single graphic for the entire thing you
label with alt tags or title tags.
