I undid your recent change to [[Www.wikipedia.org template/temp]], because it effectively hid the first row of books (and only the first) from every browser but IE. (Its width is set high but is offset by the -500% <code>left</code> value.) I'm not on a Windows PC, so I can't see exactly what's going on in IE, but please [http://computerprojects.biz/External/Wikipedia/portal.php test your changes] in several browsers whenever making changes to the page's CSS. |

Apparently the reason we make the book rows so wide and set them so far to the left is so that, on low resolutions (or when you don't have your browser window maximized), the book rows still appear centered. I attempted setting <code>width: 100%; left: 0%;</code>, but at low resolutions, the left edge of each row is anchored to the left edge of the page, meaning that the numbers can be cut off and each row looks the same length. If you could upload or link to a screenshot of the portal in IE, maybe we can work out a better solution. I'm not really a fan of the current design, though; too many positioning issues so far... |

Wikipedia portal
I undid your recent change to Www.wikipedia.org template/temp, because it effectively hid the first row of books (and only the first) from every browser but IE. (Its width is set high but is offset by the -500% left value.) I'm not on a Windows PC, so I can't see exactly what's going on in IE, but please test your changes in several browsers whenever making changes to the page's CSS.
Apparently the reason we make the book rows so wide and set them so far to the left is so that, on low resolutions (or when you don't have your browser window maximized), the book rows still appear centered. I attempted setting width: 100%; left: 0%;, but at low resolutions, the left edge of each row is anchored to the left edge of the page, meaning that the numbers can be cut off and each row looks the same length. If you could upload or link to a screenshot of the portal in IE, maybe we can work out a better solution. I'm not really a fan of the current design, though; too many positioning issues so far...
