Don,
        Like the tab impl.  It looks nice and does improve the usability very much.

What Joachim said is correct:

Use putty.exe (or whatever your SSH client is) to ssh into crosswire.

Then cd to your sandbox and update it with everyone else's commited changes:
        cd ~sword/html/biblenew/delbourne
        cvs update

Then do you work. You can either edit the files right on the box or by uploading files to this directory]

Test them with your sandbox URL:

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/biblenew/delbourne

When you have something you would like to commit, then:

cvs commit

(it's gonna take you to VI to edit your comments on the commit, if you're not sure about VI, just:
a<TYPE YOUR COMMENT><ESC>ZZ


If it's been a long time since you last did a: cvs update, then you should probably type that before the cvs commit. The update will try to merge other peoples changes in with your current code before you commit so you can resolve any conflicts.

Thanks for your help!

-Troy.

I concur with Andrew on all his observations and with those who commented on
the color scheme. The colors were never intended to be permanent. My main
concern was to create semantically marked up HTML so that we could do all
the style through the external CSS.

I took a few minutes this morning to create new CSS for the header and
navigation. I removed the table from within the <h1> tag. Tables should be
used to display tabular data, not for presentational positioning. Instead, I
positioned the OSIS logo as a background image in the header.

Since the navigation is marked up as a list of links, its relatively simple
to change the look of them. the only change I made was to add a id="current"
to the current location. this way we can style the link differently
depending on the users location. this will help the usability issue Andrew
mentioned. When he gets up to get coffee and comes back, he should be able
to tell where he is now because the tab is selected.  Speaking of coffee..
BRB.

Where were we? Oh yes, I see the tab. :) If we wanted it to stand out even
more we could color it or whatever.

I left the rest of the page unstyled for now. See what ya'll think:

(Troy, I'm sorry, I must have misplaced the info on how to get to my
'sandbox' or whatever it is called)

That's all I have time for this morning. Ya'll are doing a great job on this
thing. To God be the glory.
