Experiments

I have switched to using inline style sheets for my comments pages, so can those of you who were experiencing problems with the stylesheet taking a long time to load have a look and see if that's any better? Thanks

Phooey, I spoke too soon. Still has weird formatting glitches where the text sometimes runs over the userpics.

(Safari 1.0 v85)

Might well be a Safari thing. I've spotted that for other sytles/situations where IE at work (PC) is fine.

Not doing that for me on Safari. However, some userpics and the 'parent | reply' bits aren't fitting into the boxes surrounding comments on Safari, Camino, Mozilla or IE for the Mac. Amusingly it looks like different pictures are messed up on different browsers.

Yeah. That's double weird because I fixed that problem a couple of weeks ago but now I'm getting it back again!

Looks fine on IE 6 on XP though. :)

Actually, I've found the problem. IE interpreted floats inside divs in a way which, while not correct, gives the effect I want :) Other browsers don't so I set a min-height using CSS selectors (html>body) to hide it from IE because it gets confused by min-height. Unfortunatly, LJ is running my page through the HTML cleaner and so in the resulting page it's html>body which is no use to man nor beast! I'm working on it though.

Bet you really wanted to know all that :)

Weird. Is this the (reply | thread) bit, or the actual text of the comments themselves?
