One of the regular annoyances of ISFDB is when someone tries to copy/paste from ISFDB that the ISFDB Record # line get appended to the author name or title. For example, copy, pasting from http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?222940 gets

Author: Kiran Millwood Hargrave ISFDB Author Record # 222940
Birthplace: London, England, UK

The HTML currently has:

    <div id="main">
    <ul>
    <li><b>Author:</b> Kiran Millwood Hargrave
    <span style="float:right"><b>ISFDB Author Record # </b>222940</span>
    </li><li><b>Birthplace:</b> London, England, UK

This should be:

    <div id="main">
    <ul>
    <span style="float:right"><b>ISFDB Author Record # </b>222940</span>
    <li><b>Author:</b> Kiran Millwood Hargrave
    </li><li><b>Birthplace:</b> London, England, UK

The fix is to move the span up a line. When people start drag/selecting starting at Author it won't include the record number in the selection. The same issue exists with titles, publications, etc.

http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1967552 has

    <div id="main">
