Oh yeah, look at that. I didn’t even notice it. I’ll see if I can fix it, but if not, I’m not too worried about that.

Well, as long as that null value isn’t screwing up the site for people, I’m just going to leave it for the time being.

Hmm, that shouldn’t really trip up anything, though. I’ll note that I’m using Safari on Mac OS X. I get the Null value error too (it further gives the oh-so-helpful comment of “undefined”). It doesn’t seem to be hurting anything, though.

I have noticed one thing in Safari and Firefox. If I scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, there’s about an inch and a half wide gap on the right border on the “main” section (the part that has the white background). It doesn’t go all the way down to the bottom border - just stops abruptly above it.

Okay, well I’m not sure how to fix it actually. It works right now in both Firefox and IE (I don’t have any other browsers to test). The problem was that both the rounded corners and the comment preview were using window.onload function (). I guess to check for DOM support or something, I don’t know a whole lot about Javascript. I sort of just blunder my way through it. In any event, what I did was combine the two sections of script into one window.onload function () with two separate if statements inside of it. Now it works, but I know there’s an error. As I said, I suspect the IE error is because the front page has no comment preview, so it gets a “null” value for something. I’m just not sure what. Any ideas would be helpful.

Well, I’ve got both the rounded corners and the preview working now. It’s coming up as an error in IE when on the main page though, cause of how I combined the functions. It’s looking for the comment preview code and coming up blank since there’s no comments on the front page. Anyway, nobody probably cares, but I just wanted to jot this down as a note for myself for later so I can pick up where I left off.

thanks! if only I could get this comment preview to work again. I’m zeroing in on the problem as we speak though…

the little pop occulture intro box below the masthead is a bit off-center. Did you mean to do it that way? It looks a little wierd to me. I’m big on centering shit.

The rest looks pretty awesome. The star in the pop O, is a nice touch.

Oh, hmm. It looks like you accidentally knocked out the “Preview Comment” thing. Or at least, nothing is showing up for me at the moment. Thought I’d just let ya know.

Nice! I’m liking it. Heh, I really like the bubble for the quotes, too.
