Hey all,

For not posting the URL, let me just say...

<homer simpson>Do'h!</homer simpson>

Here is the link, the tabs are on the bottom.

http://shop.venomouspenguin.com/template/bedandbath.html

I could replace the TD table cells with div tags, 
if you think this would help the situation, but 
first, if I understand Zoe, it would be better to 
put each tab in its own TD cell. Right now they 
are all in one, so I will try this first.

Thanks!

Any more advice, of course, would be greatly, 
greatly appreciated.
