I do like the larger buttons - if you look between the style changes between 2.9 and anything below, everything did get a bit larger and I do like the breathing room between the text inside the buttons and the borders of the buttons themselves. > Yup, that sounds like enough of a challenge. :-) I'll see what I > can do....

I'll be proofreading all of the template files in my second go-round through the /templates/ folder...and I'd appreciate your opinions, if any, on a few debatable spelling conventions. (My goal here is to make everything consistent across the board, for users & admins alike.)   Following is a list of alternate spellings. The italicized ones are "correct" according to Wikipedia &/or Wiktionary. Unless there's disagreement or discussion to be had, I'll be using the first (bolded) one in ea ...Continue Reading

First up: I clued into the fact that the checkbox-border thing can be written out with only one IE expression hack:   /* for IE 5.0+: */input {  &nb ...Continue Reading

Yes :) I think the only place that tables are used is for aligning things like checkboxes, form fields, etc. There is some argument that this is tabular data that can be formatted as a table, but it's probably the losing argument :) If ...Continue Reading

I'll return you to your regular programming before the next beta. ...Continue Reading
