I think this has to do with the (extremely hackish, and certainly not very solid) way that the layout is done at the moment. It's a combination of Trac and Sphinx layout, so it ends up kinda goofy, with strange floats and negative margins and whatnot (though not in a way that makes sense to me). I don't see the problem you describe unless I shrink my browser down below a certain minimum size. It could certainly stand improvement.

It looks fine in Firefox and I'll bet if you just make sure these 4 errors are cleared up, it'll be fine in Chrome, too. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftwistedsphinx.funsize.net%2Fprojects%2Fconch%2Fhowto%2Fconch_client.html S

Looks fine in Chrome 4.0.249.49 (35163) beta on OS X. Gotta love that version number; looks like a Microsoft IE version number; scary. S

Hmmm...that part of the template is straight out of Sphinx proper. I wonder if it's because the Sphinx templates use a TRANSITIONAL doctype, while I'm using STRICT (since that's what the Trac site uses)... I'm not entirely convinced that these are real errors, though. The <input> elements are inside a <form>, which are only inside <div>s (and of course <body> and <html>). (goes looking on the intarwebz) Huh. Apparently you aren't allowed to put <input>s directly in <form>s. You have to use a <p> or <fieldset> or something to wrap it. That's extremely goofy. Wonder why I've never run into that before... Guess I don't use XHTML STRICT very often. Seems it's valid in TRANSITIONAL. Kevin Horn

It's still not valid; it's just one of those things that's set to be ignored in "TRANSITIONAL" 'cause it's so common. XHTML STRICT pretty much eliminates cross-browser issues...except for IE, of course. At least you have a fighting chance if it passes STRICT, otherwise you can chase rendering bugs around in a circle forever. Works here, doesn't work there...tweak...great, works there, uh oh, doesn't work here...tweak...etc. S
