i'm not sure what more you can do, but a good start would be to clean it up. the layout is broken for me.

Hearing that really made me lose it. I am so f'ing sick of HTML and CSS not working properly from one browser to the next... and the damn thing is pretty simple, and uses a CSS "framework" (blueprint) to boot. It works fine in FF and Konqueror.

Thanks for letting me know, though:-(

you don't fully use blueprint though, which is whats causing the problem :p

#statusnav's parent is a blueprint block, but its breaking for me in the transition from #statusnav's parent div to the #stati table, which isn't blueprinted.

The table should just be contained, though, right? I guess not. That seems to fix it. Don't understand why it's completely broken in one place and works fine in another, and of course it's frustrating to not even be able to test these things easily across different systems. Thanks again for the tip.

if you're going to use blueprint or any css framework, you need to use it 100%. or as much of 100% as you can. otherwise, it won't be able to do its own job.

and, yeah, such is the life of the web developer/designer. i have 12 browsers installed on my windows box.

> such is the life of the web developer/designer

The thing that drives me nuts is that it has been the life of the web developer since I started doing this in 1997. I'm sick of things working in one place and not in another.
