Spliffy: Ummm… the example page[1] renders just fine in Safari/Win. Maybe the new version fixes whatever bugs the browser had that caused the problem in the first place?

I can’t debug a problem I can’t replicate :-/

OK, ok, you’ve twisted my arm, I’ll get working on an updated Safari friendly version this week. Cool?

Still busted in Safari. Safari is now out on windows.

Ara, we are all waiting on you.

Paul: Hey, wow… I didn’t know anyone was really using this. I wrote it so long ago that I’m not surprised that it’s got some problems. I really should revamp the whole thing and make it work better. Just gotta find the time…

FYI, this script seems to fall down on Safari. I’m using 2.04

Tia: Unfortunately I didn’t test the script under every possible circumstance, but your problem is something that came up in a conversation with Paul Novitski. He pointed out that I set all the columns to the same width, so the left column is as wide as the right one (which has the nested list in it) and makes the right one look like its left margin is too big. I’ll have to fix that by setting each columns width separately.

Now if I could just get around to it ;-)

Ara,

This code works really well, except for a small problem with nested lists. I have a nested unordered list within an unordered list that falls into the second of two columns, but it is positioned extremly far to the right of the second column. I think this is occuring because the margin-left for the nested list is being set to the same as the margin-left for the second column, thereby forcing it way off to the right. I was wondering if perhaps you know of a way to correct this problem?
