    Now that Root is back, I was wondering if I could ask a question.
    In my Trident-based blog, I have a column to the left that is borked if there is not enough content in the main content section.
    For example, this looks fine, since there’s lots of content in the main section.
    However, at this link you can see how the last line or two of the navbar listing moves to the right (since the color is white, you have to use the mouse to hover to see where the text has moved).
    I was thinking of a hack like placing a bitmap of a certain vertical length in the rightmost navbar, or in the main section, but I was wondering whether there was a better way.

    Youre on IE presumably?

    No, I use Mozilla. But I test with IE6.

    But the behavior is only seen in IE or not ?

    The reason I ask is that I think what you are describing is IE at its very worst with the Three Pixel Gap. I may be wrong. No one has reported it before and I was unaware of it. If I am right the choice is to either apply the fiendishly complicated Holly Hack or alternatively just add a new class of .post to the CSS with 4px or more of padding. Should do it.

    No, I can see it with Mozilla.
    Go to the second link, note that the last line of the left navbar is moved to the right (hover over it to see it).

    Well in that case I have been looking at the wrong thing and talking rubbish as usual. Your problem is that you have departed from best practice and put you l menu links in a paragraph not a list. You have set it all up in a div of your own making and furthermore there is a break in the link. I would suggest you check the CSS for the div and rebuild the menu using a ul and li. That will do it. You may need to abbreviate to T & Cs or something. Incidentally Vesuvius is not only flexi width but because of that has wider menus and might suit you more. HTH 🙂

    I have to admit that does not explain what makes the word conditions go flying like that but I did notice in the CSS there is capital A used for the links. I am pretty sure that putting it back in a list will get it under control again. It is the on hover that seems to be playing up.
