No such thing as magic?

I disagree, I have proof, I am convinced, converted, a believer....there is magic!

A day or two ago I posted with reference to the fact that in Firefox my template doesn't bear inspection. To be more specific, the header was centered, the content floating left. No amount of fiddling with CSS or HTML would seem to fix it and even DKG didn't have the answer......he who always has the answer, the font of all knowledge on matters such as this, was scratching his head along with myself.

A few posted comments to say it looked fine in their browsers but for some of us it was a sorry sight. Late last night I threw in the towel and gave up, my minimal coding skills tested beyond endurance.

I promise you faithfully I changed nothing more, did nothing, abandoned it and went to bed.....and then, sometime as I slept, in the black of the night, unnoticed and silently the magic happened, for on waking this morning, still bemused I looked again......... and it was fixed, mended, all in straight lines, not a pixel out of place!

This has to be magic, there is no other explanation. The only person other than myself who has full access to my code, has no access to a computer right now and let's face it, no one is gonna try to hack or crack my account just to fix it!

See...magic!! Real, live, amazing magic happens, it's real, it exists and I won't be persuaded otherwise....DKG saw it too, it was not just me!

;o)

lol! Maybe you should leave your broken shoes out at night, in hopes the pixies will repair them. Better yet, your income tax statement.

I still think it was something outside your HTML. Maybe the CSS you import from Blogger, or your shoutbox (shoutboxes are evil!), or your referrer's list. Voodoo like this always scares me. :)

DKG: I'm plannig on leaving lots of stuff out in the hope the magic can be repeated! heh

Lord knows what it was but I think you are right....I have another theory about history and temp files I'm gonna test tomorrow. I will work this out!....and yes, shoutboxes are the very devil itself....methinks it will be gone soon :o)
