F IE

[LeFou]

Okay, the firefox situation is getting worse, not better. I know I'm not the only one this applies to. You need help? (I'll get the leaderboard data done first

AGREED! I hate that I never know if I'll be able to read the blogs or not.

It's flickering around for me. One day it's fine and the next it's all mis-aligned and weird.

(I use Firefox too, by the way).

Yes. I think we could use your help in getting the blog pages laid out correctly in Firefox.

But please finish the Leaderboard first. Thanks, LeFou.

I'm up for helping too. Do you have an IM program we could chat on?

Yes. I'm on AIM.

But I won't have time until this weekend. Send me a PM with your AIM name.

Found a big part of the problem: Firefox is interpretting any -- as the start of the end of the commented section of code. Specifically, LeFou has a topic entitled "Creativity -- what does it mean?" After this line, Firefox is uncommenting everything until the next <!--

Removing the -- from this line makes the layout appear the same as in IE (though there's still an issue with the bg color that I'm going to look into). A more permanent solution is to add some code to the php so that -- is converted to & # 4 5 ; & # 4 5 ;

(note: spaces added to the above so that it would display as numbers instead of as hyphens)

The strange BG color seems to be coming from the script at the beginning of the page:

html,body {
background: #616760;
margin: 0px;

font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';
font-size: 12px;
color: #333333;
}

replacing the background line in the above with background: #E6D397;
seems to make everything look the same as it looks in IE

And in the mean time before the above can be implemented, I bet that if LeFou's last post has the subject edited, the page will show up almost correctly for Firefox users...at least until someone else posts a -- post.
