In any case, I don't actually advertise version numbers on the site anywhere, because I learnt that lesson the hard way with old ass unmaintained phpBB installs on other servers. In any case, if you need a copy of it.. shoot me an e-mail at tlgjaymz at you-know-what-domain, and I'll zip up what I've got and send it along.

I'm a little concerned though, with how the latest K2 claims to have worked out many "bugs" in r167. I haven't noticed any bugs while working on my blog. Anyway, peace. update:

I couldn't agree more with what you've said about the latest version of K2 theme, and I'm finding myself basically tring to get it back to the version before that (although I do think the search bar is cool). I'm not much of a programmer, so it's tough, but I get a lot done by trial and error. Now to the question! Do you have that previous version? I was dumb and deleted the folder when I installed the new one. Thanks! Hi there!

You've got a one-pixel-jump in there on all browsers when you hover over the links - you might want to try using "border-color: transparent" to get rid of that. Won't work on IE6, but will in IE7, FF, Opera and Safari. Love the Borg emoticon. :) Looks great.

You, like, work at Microsoft! :monocle: In my defense, I suck at web development (probably because I hate it so) and never bothered to check whether or not the CSS utterings that Codey passed onto me were correct or not. In any case, you were right - enveloping commented out lines with C-style comments as opposed to the double forward slashes fixed the issue. The CSS code that's passed to each browser should be the same, or pretty much similar as far as my knowledge goes, because I don't keep multiple sakura.css's around, and I don't think this old version of K2 has too much control with what's being passed to what browser. Either K2 selectively strips those lines out for certain browsers, or Mozilla/Safari do it themselves. Freaky. In any case, sakura2.css is now standards compliant, and all's right with the world.

If you served that stylesheet to Safari, Mozilla or Opera, they would do the same thing. The sakura.css stylesheet that IE gets served has (around line 124) the rule ul.menu li a { font: 1em Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif; color: black; margin: 0; // background: #EDEDED; } double-forward slashes are NOT legal comments in CSS, unlike C /Javascript/etc. - you have to use C-style comments ("/* ... */"). There are a bunch of other rules in the sheet that are theoretically commented out too, but in actuality they will still apply. In this case, it means your "buttons" are getting a light-grey background applied to them. The stylesheet you are serving to Mozilla does not have any single-line "comments" in it. -Chris Wilson Group Program Manager, IE Platform What’s wrong with the page in IE7 is that you are serving a different stylesheet to it.
