Random invisible "New Reply" button

[schauerlich]

The screenshot program makes the cursor invisible, but the button is a few pixels northwest of the tooltip. Clicking it brings you to a new reply page. I've found it on many threads. I don't believe this was intentional, so maybe an admin would like to remove it? Or it can be a nice little easter egg for those who don't read this thread.

There was a thread on it a long time ago about it I think. The bottom section of the New Reply button stretches across the page.

Have we ever found out why that is?

Looks like the New Reply button (and children elements) are block level, which makes some elements span their maximum width depending on certain factors. There's some fancy HTML that makes the button look rounded, and it's not the standard CSS border-radius stuff. Meh, weird.

I found it back in August of '08, seems the consensus was FF and its bad HTML rendering

I'm using Safari 4.0.2. So it's not just FF and/or Gecko.

Seems like only opera are doing it 'right' then

Or maybe they're doing it wrong and the other browsers are rendering the quirk correctly? ;)

Interesting suggestion, of course, the real test would be too see how w3m or links2 rendered it. I doubt they would even recognize it.
