Hi Katherine,

I'm afraid we have very little experience making flexible or good looking web 
pages. A number of people have asked about this and we are open to the idea but 
don't have the expertise or time to devote.

If you have some specific changes you would like to see, we could try to make 
them. One problem is that our HTML is generated with print statements in our 
Java code. Yuck! But that's were we are at the moment.

Hmm, perhaps we should send out an email to the thredds list and see if there 
is enough interest to get a conversation going about how to move towards more 
user controllable style in the TDS HTML pages.
Thanks,

Ethan
