Morten - John, do you have a problem with fitting the page contents onto your browser window on any other pages than Opening Systematic Classification? The SL pages should not be wider than 800, but adding any browser borders etc. may make the view cut off. However, horizontal scrollbars should be provided by your browser...

I've had the problem before and only on SL (I use IE5 at home). I know of other people with the same problem. It has been traced by others, including Charles, to overlong lines, I think, and Blake has spotted the problem in this case, but I've never paid much attention to the details, I'm afraid.

Hmm. Long lines shouldn't really cause a problem, but preformatted text (<PRE> tag in HTML or 'empty space at beginning of line' on SL will stay, erm, preformatted and may well extend past the 'normal' right limit. However, your browser should provide scrollbars...
IE 5.50 on NT 4 works for me here at work - what else can it be?

mAsterdamThe first example of Links in diagrams was (intentionally, but only the source needs to be there) ridiculous to the diagramgenerator and it rendered the diagram accordingly. Blake took the resulting mess away. Is it ok now on 800x600?

Charles I was having problems with 44SmallKnightsApproachOneSpaceHighExtensionOverplay?

before I renamed it.

JF All OK after Blake's change, thank you

Blake: (I think this discussion should be moved, but I dunno where)... I think SL's CSS or HTML templates include something that is making browsers not provide scrollbars. For me, neither Netscape 7.02 (essentially Mozilla) nor IE6 do. Other pages are fine.
