CSS issue

[Animesh Kumar]

Hello All:

Please have a look at my website

http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~animesh/poetry/gif/bhari_anjuri_d.htm

If I open it using Mozilla/Firefox, I find the links on left having
same-width in "p" element. Also, the links are actively responding to
hover (though it's not the best possible hover right now, in the sense
that the links or mouse isn't active as soon as it enters the rectangle
created by "p").

Any general comments appreciated as well.

Best regards,
Animesh

Sorry for hitting 'send' very fast. I forgot to add that "IE" does not
works well with my webpage. The "p" elements are messed up and hover
does not works in IE. Finally, can anyone check it on opera/safari and
give feedback about strange artifacts

Best

General: do you know that it does not appear without side scrollbars on all
browsers, not even in 1024px wide windows? I would say this: first try to
make sure your site appears well within such (even better, 800) before
scrollbars get activated. You mandate too much space.

Yes that is in my mind. I appreciate ur comment. This is like my "first"
page that I made with CSS and background images.

Though, if the poem and its translation appears in 800 pixels, it is
good enough, cos each poem will take about 10 mins to read (one scroll
in 10 mins is not a bad number: it is not a see-picture and move type
page).

I will look into it however.

PS: Am curious why you say we need to scroll right now too, I checked
with IE and Firefox and I didn't have to (though the scroll bar appeared).

If it is unnecessary (as it most certainly is in this case) then it is one
scroll too many.

If the sideways scroll bar appears for you on 1028 then that is reason
enough to look into it and make it go away. I suggest for your purposes, no
side scroll should appear for anything more than 800 at least... For a
start, you allow miles too much for the width of the nav side bar (which
never flexes down no matter how one resizes) and/or too much margin for nav
part...

While at it btw, you may spot your other trouble.

As you please though...

The scroll at bottom which avails going *sideway* is sideway-scroll.
Right? I am considering to move the links on the left yes. At least on
1024 by 768 they will disappear.

Your point is very valid though.
