I've been trying to figure out for an hour why the heck the links "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Service" will not line up properly at the bottom of this (and every) page on Atlas Quest. It's very annoying. It didn't start happening until I created this new November/Thanksgiving themed look. And it's driving me crazy because it seems like it should be SOOOO easy to fix! But all the HTML looks absolutely perfect as far as I can see. The HTML and CSS validate just fine. ARGH!

I'd think it was a browser bug, except I get the exact same behavior in IE, Netscape, and Firebox. Very unlikely all three would have the exact same bug, which means it has to be some mistake I'm making, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. If there are smarter people than me out there, I'd like to hear from you!!!! =)

Why won't these links line up properly?

PS. If you shrink the width of the browser window enough, it's the first line that 'shifts' over incorrectly, not the second one.

PPS. I never said Atlas Quest was perfect, you know. There's plenty of mistakes like that if you keep your eyes open. ;o)

Well, after another hour of working on it, I finally figured out what was wrong! Very subtle bug.... I used the CSS statement 'position:relative' to move the corners of the content window into the proper location. The thing is, it still leaves an 'invisible box' behind holding the old position of the image as a place saver that mis-aligned everything that butted against it.

Anyhow.... I moved the corners INTO the content window which solved the problem and all is well. =) Yippie!

AHHH, no wonder I couldn't figure it out. I was thinking html, not css. Didn't even look at the top of the source code, just that bottom area in question.

Congrats!

Ryan, regardless of what other's say, I think you do a great work. Smile!

I've enjoyed the banter on the books and movie boards and hope to see more of it.

I've e-mailed a few that I think may contribute to the "chatter" on the boards. I'm hoping to see more participation in appreciation of your efforts.

*laugh* You know, both of those boards were created in honor of Amanda. She's a voricious reader and a cinematic nutcase. =) But they seemed like good additions since there's quite a few people like that out there.
