Indeed, if Marc Riddell is using IE5/Mac then we can't help but to say that you should switch to a more recent browser, because MediaWIki has dropped support for it. Which doesn't mean everything has to brake. There are plenty of people among the developers who know especially much about the behaviour of older browsers and will try to implement proper fallbacks where possible. But overflow:hidden fixes many issues, and shows no problems in any of the supported browsers (not even IE6). -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
