How are you? Your article about organ transplants has been editied and sits at A888528. Actually it didn't need any editing, so good, it was... smiley - ok

smiley - biggrin
Thanks! I came up with that one when I was moping about my eyeballs and how I'd like some new ones (I'm shortsighted, and it's in the way of something I want to do with my life), and then I realised that maybe in the future we'll be able to get new ones fitted, and I cheered up a bit smiley - smiley

2020 may be a tad optimistic for it, but we can hope smiley - smiley

I want to join the police, but they don't like people with bad eyesight smiley - sadface It's all very strange and involved, and there's loads of legislation coming in that might help matters somewhat...

Yeah, laser's always an option I suppose - assuming it'll correct my kind of visual standard and leave me with an intact cornea!

I know what you mean. I'm very wary of messing with my eyes. I find the idea of laser treatment a tad scary. smiley - bigeyes

Well, it's fixed on the front page, but article pages and reply forms still have the same problem I'm afraid.

Looking at the CSS file, there are still several needless :hover classes - the only one which should be necessary is a:hover, the rest are causing the problem. If only IE had better CSS support, this would never have happened...

...and *now* how is it looking? I see what you mean about all the :hover code... Tom's taken _some_ out...If it's still not right I'll start ripping them out!

Sorry Jennifer... it's the same smiley - sadface

I feel like I've been causing an awful lot of bother.

It will be especially important when AOL's client software for Windows starts using Gecko as the rendering engine. Or if Microsoft ever support more than a tiny bit of CSS2 properly.
