I notice that scriptless folk are told that their browser might not support JavaScript and you reccomend to "Upgrade your Web browser to a newer version. We recommend Internet Explorer 5.0 or above."
Is this a joke?
Also on a more serious note you are using a background image for you logo - I would say that this is not approptiate, background images are for images that have no real meaning, decoration. Your logo not only has meaning but also text. By using a background you are displaying informaiton that only a sub section of people ever stand a chance to see.
On your search box, the use of Javascript with the onchange event on the dropdowns is effectively preventing keyboard navigation and is not all that nice a practice.
Infact looking at things I really don't see why you are relying on JS for the whole thing to work, is it just to have the dynamic forms?
Other than that it's a nice clean look!

Yes I know that what you're using it for - but do you really need it I mean.
By using the Javascript in this way you are excluding anyone who does not use a mouse and/or who has JS turned off for what ever reason.
Ideally dropdown boxes should be accompanied with submit buttons, in this way your site would be more usable to different people/browsers but would loose no functionality.
Of course this would involve adding buttons and extra work so you might just want to not I guess.

This is the reason I use JS sparingly.
Solution: Follow these instructions to enable JavaScript on Internet Explorer:
If you insist on this message, you should at least be cross-browser friendly.
