FWIW, I like designs to - use as little rules as possble - be scalable (this one introduces scrollbars at 800x600) - use real tabs
I think mozilla.org is pretty much what we'd want. Unfortunately, we'll also need work on the infrastructure side to make this work. IMHO, a better start would be to clean up the current script so we can generate the 'old-school' website using CSS completely, and then do a redesign based on CSS. 2007/4/2, Bryan Stanbridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Greetings from a web professional, It's a nice first step into a redesign. The concept is fairly nice and shows quite a bit of thought. 1) I recommend making the "Home" "Introduction" etc. links plain white. It's hard to read the special effect (and it requires images which increases load time, unnecessarily in this case). 2) There's a little too much space in a number of places. Between the header and the navigation, for instance. That seems a lot of extraneous space. 3) I think that perhaps you're using too many different colors, especially in the uses of headers. 4) The markup is very "old school." Your design could easily be accomplished with fully compliant (X)HTML+CSS and be leaner and load faster as a result. It would also be more appropriately elegant for such an elegant program. (Granted the originally is equally "old school") If there's any interest in this, I could take a look later this week and bring your design into a standards compliant format and then post for comments. (If there's any question of my qualifications to take incredibly table-heavy code and translate it into (X)HTML+CSS, please see http://www.bgsu.edu for the ugly table version and http://www.bgsu.edu/music/ for my redesign with one table [that's largely unnecessary, but for a few pages. I'm working on getting the table out of there entirely, since there's no tabular data.]).
