It seems like gmail is doing something like this in their chat status indicator. This works properly on IE6 (which I don't believe...
I have a web page that renders the same in IE7, Firefox, and Safari - except when printing. IE7 appears to allocate too much space for borders when printing.

I have a "Videos" page that has a few links, that when you click on one, it opens a Lightbox with a .SWF that plays the video.

Perhaps you can spot me the bug? <htm...
