I guess the IE6 tab is 'fixed', and would call making it better a 'feature
request'.

It is mainly of importance that we do not break these pages... actually
styling these servlets we should leave for now.

You're the designer... just make sure that it doesn't look to dark at
other websites... the visual focus should be on the action statements /
content

Agree... but you shouldn't make them 8px either... furthermore I'd prefer
using em, instead of px.

I'm pro liquid designs, so yes...

That is possible, using javascript... but since opening the box also
relies on javascript... I can do that if you want, but only tomorrow.

Keep up the good work Ivan! Thanks!
