Continuing on with the website theme update I have now started to apply the same styles used for the blog posts to the pages, I am changing one page at a time, also validating them against the html5 standard, which I am pleased to say most do without making many changes, the enquiry forms I know will not pass html5 validation, not sure what I will do with them yet.

I have also upgraded the spry tabbed panels that were on the easi-joist definitions, trussed rafter definitions, downloads, and McCarthy and Stone pages to the latest version and have changed the styles so they are a better fit with the sites new theme.  As you can see from this picture, the tabs are now spaced slightly, this meant that I had to merge some tabs on the trussed rafter definitions page to ensure all the tabs remained on the one row.  On the whole this has lead to code for those pages being much less cluttered, which will make them easier to update in the future.  One thing to note about the updated theme for the spry tabbed panels and tables is that the gradient backgrounds for these elements will only appear in the latest versions of firefox, safari and chrome, meaning that in the older versions of those browsers and in opera and internet explorer a plain background will appear instead.
