Miriam:

In WinXP-SP2 with 1024x768 screen resolution...
IE7.0-Beta2 at medium text size all is well; at smallest the same; at
largest the nav tabs start to impinge on the image below.
FF1.5 at medium text size all is well, as at smallest; at larger, the page
tag wraps, which is okay, and the tabs start to impinge on the image below;
at largest, the tabs wrap an things look rather unruly.
O9.00Beta at medium size and smaller, all is well; at any larger zoom the
layout tidy but outgrows its background.

In all the browsers at medium text size, the background shrinks
disproportionately faster than the content boxes; looks worst in Opera.

IMO, there is too much green space between the elements; the shadows
underneath the nav boxes could use a little more contrast, as could the blue
text within the boxes. Maybe #63abcd for the <a> and #77ee99 for <a -
hover>. Also, I would set the body text to "medium" and tweak the font sizes
elsewhere (follow postings by Felix Miata, etc; and read the CSS-Discuss
wiki regarding font-size psychology and accessibility). Some old men like me
have problems reading the smaller text. Especially those using 1280 x 1024
screen resolutions. Line height to 1.4 - 1.6 ... 1.8 seems a too spread out.
But that's just me.....I am sure others will do some digging into your code.

For me, the first impression on opening the page is quite nice.

Best Regards and Cheers,

Peter
