yeah I was worried about that my desktop is 1280x1024 and I was trying to use mozilla as if it was sized for 1024x768. Also do we want to set a standard for screen size? many sites say either 800x600 or 1024x768 these days. > Also, the formatting of the start/stop time boxes don't line up very > well.

Also I have my usual problem of not checking to see desc and title were populated before going to use them. I had thought about defaulting the controls to the current time + 5 minutes, but your idea sounds more useful. Also do like the dropdowns for minutes? I put it in five minute intervals but wasn't sure if that granularity would cause problems for others. Most things in the US run on the half hour but two stations(TBS, TNT) run programs at like 5 minutes after, not sure if this would be a problem in other countries. Also i think there might be some investigating one of us might need to do in the record interface. If i add a manual record request for the last half hour of an hour show, I can not remove it using record.cgi. If you could look into this that would be great. I am not sure if this is something I am doing wrong or if my manual record program is breaking an assumption used in the record interface. I don't expect this to happen alot but I ran across it in testing.
