RE: RE: Scrolling Issues

I got voted down three times on this as if I were lazy or crazy. I set my code wrap length to ten, and meditations, and Perl Monks Discussion are still scrolling. Ten is an awfully small number, and it doesn't help.

I am not crazy. My screen is at 800x600. This is legit.

You were lazy. You were lazy because you didn't give the post a title (the post has since gained a title). I am of the opinion that anyone above level 1 should make properly formatted posts (using the code tag when needed, closing all HTML tags, providing a title, etc). - kudra (minus votes explained on request) Update: maybe.

Understood, but I compared the source code on 2 pages line for line to determine if there might be a table tag out of place. I was seeking to correct a possible bug with the format of the site, and I lost 3 XP for my effort. I'm being voted down on format rather than content. Back to the question: Is there a bug?	[reply]

You're not crazy :) I have the same problem. 800x600 screen with netscape on a linux box and also code wrap on. I think it might be a browser problem combined with 'errors' in the HTML code. If you run the source code of the Perlmonk discussion page through for instance weblint, quite a few HTML errors are reported. I suspect that netscape is going haywire over some of them. (Do not have the problem at work with IE for instance). Weblint is quite an excelent Perl program to get rid of all those nasty bugs in your html pages BTW Have Fun	[reply]
