The directory name is an unfortunate confluence of a not-great repository naming scheme on our part and a lack of functionality on the part of the Rails plugins script, in that it doesn't allow one to choose the name of the resulting plugin directory. We may change the repository layout in the future, but we don't want to break people who are using it at the moment.
<div></div> is actually quite useful in CSS-based layouts; although somewhat bad style to have a non-semantic div tag, it's occasionally necessary and quite useful to be able to have a box that you can do whatever you want with. I first encountered the Safari bug when doing just that. It's also useful for Ajax, as you said. - Nathan On Feb 28, 2:08 am, "candlerb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 3: I forgot the "svn." subdomain. Fixed. > > Thanks.
