I like it :) Easy to read, I found items of interest quickly, all good from that side. Two small problems though -- the ultra wide search input looks bad as it overhangs the sidebar at anything more than 75% text-size (Moz1.7) Also, the bottom radii of the sidebar are messy -- the curves have

[WSG] Up and down arrows using HTML entities

Hi, I'm setting up a table which will can be sorted by clicking on one of the headers, and I'd like to display the sort order (ascending or descending) by drawing a little arrow next to the column name. I thought about using an image, but of course it wouldn't scale with the text. Is there a

Hi Jason, If you do want to use an image rather than an entity, you can style it to display inline with a height width of 1em (or something else to your preference). It scales just fine. I haven't checked this across many browsers, but it should be widely supported. Cheers, Mike On Monday,

Hi I use #9660; and #9650; as solid up/down arrows, works in everything I can lay my hands on apart from a Palm handheld which renders a [?] character or similar. I wrap them in a span and set their font-size to ~ 150% in CSS. There are some unicode links on the WSG resource section. Cheers

I had a problem with using these, for some reason the line-height was larger than the actual text, even at the same font size. My case in example; I had a horizontal nav list, and I was using the arrows for dropdown indicators, the heights got out of sync when I used the unicode option so I had to
