Re: [WikiEN-l] Another WP redesign

Thanks! I'll be fiddling with it some more; now that TOC and thumbnails are
in separate columns, they don't really need the grey background etc.

Also, help would be appreciated; for example, I can't figure out how to
top-align the TOC (position:absolute) and have it "bump down" left-side
thumbnails (position:relative) at the same time.

Update: Current Eiger page:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23027995/Eiger%20current.png

The TOC is partially obscured by the image, but it will pop into the
foreground if you push the mouse over it.
