Hi, I'm trying to create a "workflow" bar on a web page. The items in the workflow might be of different lengths. There might be enough items to fill the width of the screen, hence the flow needs to wrap onto the next line. I'm using left floating divs to do this.

I have recently started maintenance on some poorly written XAMLs. I myself am relatively new to XAML. One thing I need urgently is - grid columns should automatically adjust their width as per the text contents.

When firefox (3.0.6) renders a png image at certain widths (e.g., 50%), a thin grey line is shown along the left and top edges of the content box. The line disappears at other widths (e.g., 70%). Furthermore, the line doesn't seem to be present in the original image (using gimp to inspect the image). The phenomenon occurs in the absence...
I have table with multiple rows, showing items for sale. When the user clicks on a row, a Javascript inserts / shows a new row right beneath it with details about the item.

I've found a lot of similar questions, and tried out several solutions (including some of the so-called "holy grail" CSS layouts), but they don't quite do what I need.
