Hugh, hope you didn't mind me showing you how the re-design first looked in Opera 7?

OK,

Looks as thought Opera 7 does not like the ul to be positioned 
absolutely. A bug? It turns a horizontal list into a vertical one, for 
some reason that I'm sure the list gurus could work out.

So, I remove the position: absolute from the ul. Now what to do? If the 
tab text is resized, the top section will break apart.

Solution. (See http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hughtodd/gifford2/ )

The graphic at top right needs to be able to expand vertically. Since 
it is (now) a background graphic it can be anchored at the bottom of 
the div surrounding the top elements.

In Peter's original code, however, the top section was not a float, so 
the "innertop" div either had a defined height or none at all. A 
defined height would not allow for stretching, and no height is 
useless. So to get this div to wrap around the enclosed floats, it 
really needs to be a float itself. Because there is not "float: 
center", it needs a new enclosing div to keep it from drifting to the 
left margin of the viewport. I've called this #top.

To allow the rh graphic to 'stretch' if required, I have added another 
70px or so of height to its top.

The advantage of this revised version is that it is slightly more 
flexible than the earlier one, which is in my way of thinking more in 
line with a web standards approach.

Cheers! -Hugh Todd
