Removed duplace leftcolumn div tag set which caused a second copy of the left column to be printed
after the content of the page.

Move the #mw-head ahead of the #content rendering to match the pattern
used by UAB style.  This makes the rendering easier and causes the tabs
to appear at the top of the content.

Remove absolute positioning from #mw-head and #left-navigation.  Removed
top indent from #right-navigation.

The result is that the tabs are now located at the bottom of the center
column, ie. the maincolumn-l-r in uab contenxt or content in mw context.

This is an attempt to see if putting the header in the main column will help
with the rendering of the tabs for editing the page/discussion and history view.

It may be that putting these tabs in the maincolumn helps associate them with the
core content and makes them easier to integrate with the new theme.

Moved the leftcolumn element ahead of the maincolumn-l-r (content) element
to simplify rendering using the uab theme stylesheets.

Changed the default portal rendering to adhere to the uab style theme of ul element
for menu title rather than h5 from the mw vector default.

Removed the mw-panel properties to avoid conflicting with the uab style sheets and
adjusted several other properties of the menu item body to address font and spacing.

Moved the content back to its original postion, not 30% over since now the menus are
on the left and naturally take up the space.

Added an empty #quicklinks element into the #whitebar element to account
for the 20px of space it uses and bump the subsequent page content down by
20px, ie. get the banner to start at the border of the white background transition.

The #ribbon element follows the #banner element and normally contains
menu items. The is an empty ribbon element simply to introduce the ribbon
graphic and serve as a layout place holder.

The #banner section comes after the #whitebar.

Moved the logo rendering and php load code to embed it in the banner element.
Removed the #p-logo properties from the vector theme css and adjusted the
height of the #p-log a anchor to be 110px to match the height of the logo.

The #whitebar content covers the heading content that is backed by the white
area at the top of the body background image.  The space has a total height of 80px.

This space includes the UAB logo (called site logo in uab theme), the search box,
and quick links.  The current mw page has no quick links.

The UAB logo was hard coded as a reference to the brandworks site.

Removed the float: left in #p-search from the vector theme to accomidate the new
positioning on the UAB styled layout, where search is top right.

Some logo exploration and icon work from uabtheme project applied to mw.

The docs logo is sized according to the uab theme requirements.

Created a powered by uabgrid icon to display at the base of the page to sit
alongside mw and cc logos.  The icon is hand inserted into the page
and not yet useing the php lookup function as the other icons do, since
i don't know how this variable works yet.

Suppressed the default vector background rendering for the content area so it look
more like a standard uab content area.

Added the moduletable class as a div wrapper around the toolbox (p-tb) portal.
Also changed the portal tilte from an h5 heading to a ul element with the
menu class style to match the UAB menu style.

Added the #leftcolumn and #sidebar wrappers around the MW panel content
which is it's left column content.

The #maincontent-l-r is the center column (primary page content) in the UAB style.
Used it to wrap the MW #content div which is where it stores the primary page
content.

The whitebox and whitebox-shadow form the container for the bulk of the structural
elements in a page. They contain the content, left- and right-columns, providing
white background with a drop/border shadow.

Added the global content wrapper #wrapper from the UAB style and the
the top of page white area.

Fixed path typos for the URLs I had for UAB stylesheets.  These typos were preventing
the CSS from being read and influencing the page layout properly.

Added additional style sheets from UAB to match those found on the /brand site.
