Hi all,
Just rebuilt Plagiarist.com from the ground up attempting to use the
minimal amount of markup and CSS to display the page, to use all relative
font sizes, and to remove convoluted workarounds which made the page sizes
huge.
I've received feedback from some visitors who use IE5.x on a Mac who say
that the right-floated options menu on the following page isn't displaying
properly.

I've tried all sorts of crazy tricks - from wrapping the #options div in
another div so that I could align the container to the right and then align
the text inside the options div to the left. No dice.
I added a width to the options div. Still, it didn't fix the problem (and
I couldn't find a way of expressing the width that worked between Mozilla
and IE on my Win2K box). But specifying a width in pixels didn't seem to
fix the float:right problem, and from the screenshots they sent me it looks
like the right-float always floats to the LEFT, in some cases pushing the
poem div below the options div, and in others putting the options div on
TOP of the poem div.
Argh!
The pages validate in XHTML and CSS, and it seems to look okay in most
other browsers (although there's some weirdness in Opera5&6 too).
