You would tell me to change my DOCTYPE.. I lust added the loose.dtd to get the darned thing to validate! Even if Firebird does have this option, IE doesn't, not to mention the pure "cool factor!" :) Thanks again. Did you grab the .js?? LOL! You would tell me to change my DOCTYPE..

It took me a few minutes to figure out your comment. For anyone who's still scratching their head--in Firebird, if you select some text and then right-click on the selection, one of the menu options is "Web search for 'ABC'" where ABC is your selection. Dang, all that work for nothing :) Hey, you’re right!

The custom formatting looks nice too. The positioning issue has something to do with the loose.dtd in your DOCTYPE: < !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> Switch the doctype to: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> and watch the problem disappear :) I have to plead ignorance about exactly why the doctype causes the absolute positioning to not work. But switching doctypes shouldn't cost you anything--the page doesn't validate anyway :) Thanks for creating the .js. The custom formatting looks nice too.

Probably one of the most useful I've used! I wrapped it up in a .js file and included it. One question I have is that on my site for some reason in Mozilla Browsers the little G is locked into the upper left hand corner and I can't seem to unlock it.
