Oh heck, nevermind. The popups are opening in the same window but they're
still loosing focus. Forget it. I'll change this and just load as a whole
new page and maybe do a slideshow thing. We'll see.

Good ideas Paul, thanks. I'll implement a next/previous function soon. I
did finally manage to keep all the given popups from a specific area in

the
same window. I also managed to have that window regain focus when loading
subsequent pages. The problem was that each popup was loading it's own
browser window AND would remain hidden bellow the main window so you might
loose track of it. Problem solved. This took all morning..big sigh. Do

me
a favor and check out my shop page and use the drop down menu with the
larger shop photos. Let me know if this makes it more functional. I

think
so.

Really, really great looking site. You have a very good touch with
graphics and layout for a non-pro. Pleasing and easy to read.

Now for the nits: Well, actually, not many at all. My one "serious" nit
isn't that big of a deal on a site the size of yours, but anyway it is a
thought and applies to the time I spent going though the shop photos.
Going though all the shop bits is a click item, read window, close
window, click next item, remember which item I have missed/already
clicked, click wrong item, etc. You scheme is great if you want to
quickly access the data on *one* tool, but not so great if you want to
browse all of the tools. The simple solution is to provide a "next" and
optionally "previous" button on the window you view a tool in; this lets
you easily view each tool. This goes for the wide angle shop pictures as
well. Basic rule of thumb: always provide multuple ways for the user to
access your information.

But nevertheless, a website to be really proud of.
