¡Me gusta! Suggestion: It'd be cool if, on the Projects page, you could move the "Windows" around. Simple Javascript methinks, but I've been wrong before.

This is a test reply. As for moving boxes, it's not worth the complexity to me. Just because I liked the Windows 3.1 theme doesn't mean I have to create an entire OS in javascript.

Does anyone know why the text in these boxes is pushed to the left in IE? It works fine in Firefox and Opera.

I know that it has nothing to do with the CSS file. I saved it to my hdd, commented everything out, and the spacing remains. Must be in the quirks of how Firefox and IE see tables?

Well it is somehow related to the margin-left in the style of the comment div. As the margin-left increases in percentage, so does the effect. But I haven't figured out why or how to combat it.

Hm. It looks fine in PocketIE. (Yes, I even looked with the "desktop" mode :)

exept that the minimize? button is much bigger than the text, but I'm probably the only PocketIE user :D

I suggest replacing the "MARGIN-left: xx%" with "float:right; width:yy%;" where the yy = 100-xx
It looks fine in IE and Firefox, but I don't have Opera...yet...

I was surprised to see that I could use HTML in here. :D What other weaknesses can I find...<br><br>Not many, I'm sure. I still need to touch Linux. *cry*<br><br>Yes, I'm testing the BR tag again.

Looks good in PocketIE! I'm glad it worked! Though I'm not sure about the BR tag deal :D
