Scrolling Issues

craft, meditations, and Perl Monks Discussion all appear wider than my screen so that I have to scroll to the right to see the chatterbox. None of the other sections do this.

I did a little precursory investigation, and I couldn't find a problem with the table tags. It was just a quick look, though.

    This is most likely caused by long lines of code.
    You can change the code wrap length in your user settings

    -- ar0n (just another perl joe)

      I'm not seeing the option to change the code wrap length. This would be great though, because currently the code is being wrapped way to short and it's really ugly.

      EDIT: found it!

      I got voted down three times on this as if I were lazy or crazy. I set my code wrap length to ten, and meditations, and Perl Monks Discussion are still scrolling. Ten is an awfully small number, and it doesn't help.

      I am not crazy. My screen is at 800x600. This is legit.

        You were lazy. You were lazy because you didn't give the post a title (the post has since gained a title). I am of the opinion that anyone above level 1 should make properly formatted posts (using the code tag when needed, closing all HTML tags, providing a title, etc).

        - kudra (minus votes explained on request) Update: maybe.

        You're not crazy :) I have the same problem. 800x600 screen with netscape on a linux box and also code wrap on.

        I think it might be a browser problem combined with 'errors' in the HTML code. If you run the source code of the Perlmonk discussion page through for instance weblint, quite a few HTML errors are reported. I suspect that netscape is going haywire over some of them. (Do not have the problem at work with IE for instance).

        Weblint is quite an excelent Perl program to get rid of all those nasty bugs in your html pages BTW

        Have Fun
