I remember reading a while ago that there was a proprietary java or html that was I.E. specific. It is possible that Wordpress is using this and that is what is causing the problems. With the popularity of FF I am surprised anyone is writing specifically for I.E. In any case -- Bill can't fix it Morris — this works fine in I.E.

It's probably just another case of poorly-written HTML (or CSS) in Wordpress. Another one, that took me a long time to figure out, is that they assume that the browser's default background color is white; until realizing that, I wondered for a long time what those ugly little white rectangles are in the top left and bottom right corners of items.

What's wrong with this cartoon (even though I like it) is that the cat is just sitting there. It should be at least knocking something off the sill, or thrashing its tail. Why else bring in the swat (geddit? swat?) team.

Firefox 3.0 has the same problem. It could be that Wordpress does not use standard HTML. In anycase - I have reported it to the FF team, hopefully it will be fixed.

BTW, Bill,at least on Firefox 2, the "Notify me of followup comments" for each post is literally four screens away from the "Send Comment" button, with the result that I only noticed it yesterday. Is there any way to move that up closer to the actual comments? Slandered!
