Features / Usability

Things seem to depend on what browser is being used. In Opera9, the left column is 387px wide. In IE, it's 318px. The middle and right columns are about the width that you specified. I suppose there are elements in the article section that push that table cell wider. Imagine if you put a 400px-wide image in a 250px-wide table cell; the cell will expand to contain the image, won't it, rather than cut off the image? The same thing seems to be happening here in the left column.

Interestingly, the pixel values were changed to percentages, which you can see if you look at the page source. This shouldn't make a difference, though. (About the SPLIT syntax, the parameters shouldn't have the square brackets around them, I believe. Don't know if having them causes a problem, though.)

It could be possible to reduce the width of the article info when it is used in a wiki page like this, but you need to identify the divs involved. Something like

.wikitext .article {width: 250px}

can be put in the CSS file, but I don't know if this exactly will work or if a more is needed, and also there might be conflicts if divs or other things within div.article are too wide.

In my browsers, nothing changed in the SPLIT table as I made the window narrower.
