Today, I actually accomplished two things.
Not much in the grand scheme of things, to be sure, but two things nevertheless.
There have been, for quite some time now, two glaring problems with this site.
- You couldn't select text when using the Internet Explorer browser.
- If you made your browser very wide the text just kept on getting wider with it.
Neither of these is a problem anymore.
The first problem was quite aggravating for me. It ended up being caused by a bug in Internet Explorer that only came up when "position:absolute" was used for layer positioning. I removed all such declarations from my stylesheets and html files and the problem went away.
While I was messing with my stylesheets anyway, I assigned a maximum width to the "body" element so that there's essentially a maximum width for the site - no matter how wide you want to make your browser window. This has been something that's annoyed me for a long time, but it obviously wasn't as serious as the text selection bug.
Oh yeah, I also moved the side panel to the right side of the screen. Looks pretty different over there, doesn't it?
