You still don't get it, do you Julie?

It didn't look wrong on my page. I'm on IE.


Just tried it on IE9.

It is not nearly as obvious as when viewing with Firefox but there is
still a skew in the page.
Probably wouldn't have noticed it on IE if I hadn't been looking for it
specifically.
Nice to see a bit of humour lives on in corporate land :-)

I am using IE8. I also just looked on Google Chrome. I don't see
anything amiss. Just to be sure I looked up some other things. The way
they are displayed on the page is the same.


Try looking very carefully at the black bar at the very top of the page.
It should be down slightly on the right hand side.
In Firefox you can see a wedge of white above the black and the skew is
much more pronounced.


Just to be absolutely clear, you click on the link in the original post
(or copy and paste that link into your browser) and it gives you a Google
search page.
Probably the first entry is a definition for a.skew.

Ignore the entries.
Look at the black bar at the top of the page.
Sroll the whole page up and down quickly and look at the alignment of the
individual entries returned from the search.
The page should appear to be leaning a little - the right hand side is
down a bit.

This is most obvious in Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Not as obvious in IE9.
I am downloading Google Chrome to check how it looks there.

I am using IE8. I measured it. It looks fine. Looks fine in Chrome too
although there is a little yellowy-beige rectangle partially covering the
upper right corner telling me that they are changing the privacy policy.
Perhaps that is covering what they think I am seeing? I don't know. I
measured. It looks right.

    ... Right, well I have been using the Seamonkey browser for a while now and it seems that this browser has really suffered by the extra use of JS/Ajax on the new Racing Post site so I'm going to have to ditch it as a browser which is a shame as it has a number of features that I find very useful, mainly the built in mail and newsgroups function. ...
