SunirShah is taking a break from MeatballWiki. I feel bad about this. -- AlexSchroeder

Whatever. I feel bad I haven't done homework in a week and it is October crunch. Check your inbox and tell me what you think about the RightToInclude. I think CopyLeft is the wrong answer for thread mode (becasue of ContextSwizzling), but inclusion with citation (*) may be a reasonable compromise. -- SunirShah

News from the script front: We're using SisterSites and a list of edit links for the near links used at the bottom of every page. -- AlexSchroeder

CSS hacking [1]: When using IE (at the office via rdesktop from home ;)), I noticed that the bottom gotobar is somhow "indented". The problem is that the footer has a black top margin and the hr inside the footer has display:none to make it invisible. This is how we get a fancy black line in normal browser, and an hr in text browser. But somehow this breaks IE. Perhaps because there is not opening p tag? (The sequence is footer div, invisible hr, gotobar span, and the first link.) Let us not go down that way and screw IE. :) Unless there's a CSS guru amongst the audience... -- AlexSchroeder

Though not considering myself a Css Guru, why don't you just set the style of the hr :

  div.footer {  margin-top:5ex;
             margin-bottom:1ex; }
  div.footer hr { border: none;
      color:black;
      background-color: black;
      height: 2px; 
      margin-bottom:2ex;
     }

try it :

Thanks, I copied your CSS and used it for the other 'hidden' hr tags, too. -- AlexSchroeder
