About the Author, Dan Cameron:

I'm the owner and solution engineer at Sprout Venture, a web solutions company that specializes in web development including WordPress.

I started my first blog in 2003 and transitioned to WordPress in 2004. Since moving to WordPress I've written a few plugins and themes for public consumption. Lately I'm busy engineering/building/coding and have only been able to share a few code snippets.

If you're in need of some web development, web design or custom WordPress plugins and/or themes contact me, I'll be happy to discuss it with you.

    What about this? Did he mislead us by not telling us yet?

    Prediction:
    Apple releases iFetus technology for parents.

    Actually, a better fix might be to add (for that div that you have position: fixed on) the bottom: 0px attribute, so that it is fixed at the bottom of the screen, so it will always be visible. Then you might just run into it overlapping the top of the side menu if the screen is short, so you may want to put a background color on that div as well, so that it blocks out whatever it goes over...

    I wasn't relating the two bugs in any way, other than that I noticed them at the same time.

    I was just using a smaller browser window, but there could be some people out there who will run into the problem who don't have other options.

    I would suggest (if you're interesting in fixing it) not using fixed positioning, but rather use javascript to adjust the positioning as the user scrolls if you really want to keep the same "fixed position" look.

    I wish there was a way around it. You know of code that I could put in, that if the window it too short it would automatically show the submit button and more?

    EDIT

    Should be fixed now.

    The screen size issue is inevitable, what are you using a PDA? But I don't why you are correlating the no-post with the height of the users window. Are you?

    For the short-screen-comment form bug, the only way people can submit comments (if this happens to them) is to tab down to the submit button and press enter (since they can't see it on the screen), or disable styles.

    PS - I am using Firefox 1.5 on Windows and Linux.

    Update: the no-post-text issue appears to be happening on all asides posts, and the comment form thing seems to be jacked up on anything where your screen size is short.

    Not sure what's going on here, but the text of this post doesn't show up when you are on this page. It still shows up on the main page view as well as the feed.

    As for the link, it's a good one; especially the section on Apple's long history of double-speak regarding the Mhz discrepancies.

    Oh, and one more thing: the screen does not scroll down if your window is small enough to need scrolling for the comment sidebar section, when the main section is not big enough. So if someone is using a screen that is not tall enough, they can't scroll down and submit a comment on this post. (Although now that I've commented, this page will probably be long enough not to see this bug, but make a new post with no content, and you will see the bug).
