What bothers me the most are those things that just happen to have no effect, and you're never quite sure why. The "inspect element" in Chromium or Firefox helps, but still leaves questions unanswered. > I've taken a look.

With Chromium, there is now a gap between boxes and rule: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/web-menu/web-menu-2-chromium.png And rekonq has them overlap by one pixel: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/web-menu/web-menu-2-rekonq.png Also, Chromium and rekonq have "Personal Password Safe" visibly lower than the top of the page, though it's not as bad as with Firefox. Don't know what happens on McPompous :) > change the diagram effects to use plain CSS. Ah, that looks interesting. Works with Chromium and Firefox but neither overlay images nor text show at all on rekonq. (My JS version works on all of them.) The positions also seem to be slightly off. I wonder if that's an effect of killing all the JS - the last function adjusts the position of descriptions with respect to the beginning of the image. So if there's any material above it, things still end up at the right place on the page, no matter what size the things above have. Not sure if that is the issue, though, or if it's simply some difference in the coordinates. > (Why this kind of thing takes hours is because Firefox can behave stupidly > like expel block elements from a map element because the map element is > inside a paragraph element.
