[phoenix-dev] Fixes to the skin

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I made a number of changes to the Phoenix skin:

1. Removed absolute positioning.  This means little to you, but I 
removed a lot of absolute positioning that was preventing the page from 
scaling properly.

2. Replaced the top nav bar with tabs.  Mike wanted tabs. I think they 
look much better than the jetblack bar.  See phoenix2.png

Also note the selected tab stays highlighted.

3. Fixed the damn footer. The footer used to follow the middle column, 
and if the right column was longer, the footer would overlap.  Note that 
on shorter pages, the left nav column doesn't scale up: it's a dummy 
background image that consumes the entire left part of the screen.  For 
now I can't have it any other way, but I tried, boy have I tried.

See phoenix3.png

4. Left navs stay highlighted once clicked.  See phoenix4.png
