Explorer is the new Netscape 4.*

If you’re reading this on Internet Explorer 6, the top of the ‘helium-3’ title may be getting chopped off for reasons that are completely unknown to me. It could be a problem with my CSS of course, in which case I’ve only got myself to blame.

    I\’m using Safari, and sometimes it appears chopped off to me too. But when I hover over it with the cursor, it miraculously returns.

    Don’t set the line-height on the body (do it on the entry <p>’s), or override it by setting the line-height on the h1. First solution’s easier me thinks.

    Well I thought I\’d looked into that. Don\’t think I tried putting the line-height in .item class. Cheers Stu.

    Explorer is still crap though ;)

    Never thought I\’d say this, but IE really is starting to suck. Comparatively, at least. The Netscape 4 analogy is spot on.
