Re: [WWdevel] ur.css zoom

[John J. <jj...@as...>]

Hi,

I just tried to see the peek-a-boo bug, and I can't seem to trigger it 
anymore.  I removed the zoom fix and tried two computers with different 
generations of explorer, tried using the questionnaire, varied a change 
near the bottom of the css file that says it is related to peek-a-boo, 
and I still can't see it.  Maybe something else was changed along the 
way that fixed it.

So, by all means, remove it or comment it out from ur.css and assume it 
is not being used.
