A little problem with the tabs at the Google search engine....
Problem: mouse cursor changes over the tabs, but only the text is clickable.
This is actually *very* bad usability... needlessly tricking people. (This affects Gecko -- Netscape/Mozilla...-- browsers, and at least IE 5 -- windows and Mac.)
Solution: Add to the .q styles (the 'a' tags in the tabs):
width: 100%; display: block
With the width at 100% of the table cell, the entire tab is clickable. Gecko browsers need "display:block", though IE5win doesn't.
When the entire tab is clickable, you don't need the cursor style in 'td' tag for each tab:
style=cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;
That way you even save a few bytes. (Even if you don't add the CSS for the "q" class, you should take out the cursor styles.)
You could also add "width: 100%; display: block" to the style for tabs on the news page (.d).
