My trackback
YK claims my trackback doesn’t work. Not wanting to believe him, I’m testing it out here. This entry will be deleted soon.
[Edit]
Yay, he fixed his pinng-whatever. My trackback is working, and so is his!

Fun with CSS
Ran into some problems with the layout since the picture for the previous post is longer than the text, causing it to float into the next post. When I added a “float clear” it pushed everything below the left menu’s float. Grr..
Apparently the W3C float specification requires that a cleared element shall stay below all previous floats. There are no exceptions to this requirement! “Previous” in this case means any float that comes earlier in the source document1. Now that Firefox sticks strictly to the specifications, it means I need to find a way to solve this “problem”.
A quick and simple hack2 and modification to the template and CSS files worked. Correction for IE users will not be done as this site does not condone using IE.
