Thanks, David, for the suggestions. The first (to add borders) and the third
(to define the color of text on the map view) worked like charms. The second
suggestion to add
div.exhibit-menu-popup {
color: black;
}
to fix the problem of the text color on the sorting boxes, however, did not
work as I'd hoped. In fact, I don't really see a change. Would you be willing
to look to see if I've done something wrong?
