shelley kindly notified me that the comment forms were gone. a little investigation revealed that they weren't actually gone; they were just not showing up. too much time spent in further investigation led me to the conclusion that display:table was yet again to blame, and should not be used by mere CSS mortals like myself. however, i don't know how else to make pages with giant images look good, so i'm continuing to use it on a more limited basis. i'm sure i'll discover shortly that this is still breaking things, and give up on display:table altogether.
i thought my spring cleaning was going pretty well until i saw that shelley has returned and redesigned her site, reminding me that i have no idea what i'm doing with design. oh well.
here's a fun game for OS X people: create a text file with this line:
html { display: table; }
save it as fun.css, open safari's preferences, and add this file as your custom stylesheet. now go visit some webpages and watch as they melt and/or explode. you can also play this game in any application that uses safari's rendering engine and allows custom stylesheets, such as netnewswire. fun times.
