Actually, it works in IE for me, Spirg.  It was Mozilla that was having troubles--and I haven't taken the time to update it for java.

It's not working on Netscape for me, but it does identify the problem as a JS error. It's most likely that we haven't installed JS on this old Netscape browser.

In Mozilla Firefox the text in the box on the right (Farland's quote) is going over the box's right margin. I don't know if it's supposed to be that way or not, but I thought I would mention it.


ya that's a CSS issue, I won't be useing that box in the final version.  Though I'm a little annoyed that Foxfire has problems with simple CSS.

Ok, humm...I'll see if I can use an earlier version of Java and see if that fixes it.

I'm glad I went to the site--you guys didn't mention that Elantris was on sale! I was going downtown today anyway, I'll stop by B&N to get it. Just called and they said they should have 4 on the shelves.

Wow, that's great. As soon as someone sees it locally, let us know when and where.

Hey, Sprig, I don't know if you have anything to do with the Amazon link in the upper right corner of the main page, but the box appears to be slightly too small. Since I'm using Mozilla I bet it's simply a difference in CSS box model. When I put my point over the area it scrolls (just a little though). I can providea screen cap if it's important enough for you to bother with.

it is.  I have to design for IE and not Mozilla which has recently changed their CSS prosscssor to meet W3 standards (same with foxfire) and so IE and them are completly different.  Since Mozilla, foxfire and Opera still display everything (but smaller) I leave it be and code it for IE which displayes it larger.  I'll probaly change things once IE 7 comes out next year but that's only if IE becomes more W3 complient.

Wouldn't it be better to design it for moz so it fits, and is just slightly bigger in IE thus still fitting? If it's so small in moz that a scrollbar appears, something's wrong...

Nope, because if I do that there's a good chance things will overlap, appear in different places or not even appear at all.  The rule of thumb is allwayse design for the browser that has 96% of the market first.  If I want, and I don't right now, I could write a different set of CSS for Moz/Fox/opera and have Javascript detect a browser and then choose which CSS to apply.  That's what actualy a lot of CSS heavy sites do.

There isn't a scroll bar, Ookla. It just scrolls, but it's not a big deal.
