Here's an example I found on another site. I was visiting the site named
in the URL in this image, and got the registrar's site because the domain
had apparently expired. Look at the boxes along the top with text on how
to renew or how to backorder the domain. They run off the bottom and you
can't see all the text, now the link that's supposed to be inside.
The question I have: is there a right way to make these boxes show up with
a size that always fits the text, and without screwing up the relationships
of things on the page? What has this webmaster done wrong?
The capture of the page is in this PNG file:

FYI, I'd recommend NOT using that registrar for a different reason:
When the domain goes expired and disabled, they hide the owner information
on the WHOIS data. Seems like they want no one to notify the owner that
the domain is expired and might be handed over to someone else who offered
more money for it. That's probably not the case for this domain, but it
could be the case for some, and hence their practice. What it does mean
is if you set up web sites that run themselves and expire when you are
away, you might not know, and your friends can't renew it for you (assuming
you have friends that are friend enough to do that).
