Question

Hi,
http://www.avenuedesigners.com
New layout due to some issues with the other layout (I made
changes to the old, but it just didn't look right). I'd appreciate
comments on layout, copy, code, etc. I definitely need a check on
the Macintosh platform, Safari, Firefox, etc.
Thanks for any time you can give,
Shane H

Kim,
Thanks for the suggestions. Changed a few of them right off
the bat, but I
do have a questions re: portfolio page. The only solution
I've come across
is P7 tab panel magic, which uses Javascript to trigger
between different
tabs.
Is this something like you were referencing, or is there a
tutorial, etc.
out there that teaches an all CSS (or with Javascript)
solution?
Thanks and take care,
Shane H
