Rodent Regatta

Okay. Vertical stripes have returned in IE6. Mick put his finger on the problem, and Susan confirmed it. But, I didn’t really solve it, because I can’t figure out what caused it. All I did was take the two major entries below which contain blockquotes with code in them and added the small tags so that anything that was too wide would “shrink.”

I’m using the Movable Type text entry box to post all of these. I don’t know how something became too wide, but Mick was certainly correct in that assessment.

Many thanks! ! !

The Firefox rendering of the site is still hosed.

For those who are inquiring as to what the problems are with this site. There are several/many. However, the most obvious at this point is the failure of the vertical stripes to show up as they have for many months. The most obvious examples start with the correct look from yesterday, and it is followed by the improper rendering that is currently happening in Firefox and IE6:

1. Here’s how the site looked yesterday in IE6 [CORRECT].
2. Here’s how it looks tonight in IE6 [BAD IE6].
3. A week or so ago, it did the same thing in Firefox [BAD Firefox].

Some have pointed to CSS as the culprit. Others have blamed Firefox. With today’s deterioration in IE6, I’m not sure what to think.

All I know is things are coming apart and Textpattern 1.0 is still not out.

Now this site’s vertical lines are starting to disappear in IE6 just as they did in Firefox. I have no explanation at all for what’s causing this. It seems that the time to either abandon weblogging or move to something more stable has come again.

I’m guessing that $163.30 wasn’t enough. Had I only known that the ”perfect” resource exists, I’d have picked it up while I was there.

Now, where are my keys?
