Would you mind discussing a little more exactly how you went about
finding the bug? I know from Application development, strong
debugging skills are key to most days goes smoothly, a skill I am
still trying to develop with all this web development stuff;)
I just looked at your css and html and could not work out what
the function of so many things were, in particular, the bit I
said to remove.
May I tell you a little story that exhibits a similar banality at
the base of things?
Several centuries ago, the Pope decided that all the Jews had to
leave the Vatican. Naturally there was a big uproar from the
Jewish community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a
religious debate with the chief Rabbi of the Jewish community. If
the Jew won, the Jews could stay. If the Pope won, the Jews would
leave. The chief Rabbi's Latin wasn't very good - in fact, he
knew very little - but he was a man of great faith and well
respected in the Jewish community. The Pope agreed. What could be
easier than a silent debate?
The day of the great debate came. The Rabbi and the Pope sat
opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his
hand and showed three fingers. The Rabbi looked back at him and
raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around
his head. The Rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope
pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. The Rabbi pulled out an
apple. The Pope stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too
good. The Jews can stay."
An hour later, the cardinals gathered around the Pope asking him
what happened. The Pope said: "First I held up three fingers to
represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to
remind me that there was still one God common to both our
religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God
was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and
showing that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the
wine and the wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He
pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an
answer for everything. What could I do?"
Meanwhile, the Jewish community had crowded around the Rabbi.
"What happened?" they asked. "Well," said the Rabbi, "First he
said to me that the Jews had three days to get out of here. I
told him that not one of us was leaving. Then he told me that
this whole city would be cleared of Jews. I let him know that we
were staying right here." "And then?" asked a woman. "I don't
know," said the Rabbi. "He took out his lunch and I took out
mine."
