I have witnessed this on 2 Droids 1 iPhone . This has been the behavior for both versions of the Droid, and the iPhone I used. That's interesting. I wonder if the bug on Androids only affects some manufacturers? I believe the one I tested was from HTC. But no standard preventing user control of windows, then. [...] When the OS informs you that you are exceeding the maximum number of *allowed* windows, that seems more of a limitation than a bug. If you open enough windows on a desktop or laptop, eventually it crashes too. I managed to open 112 windows on my netbook by mistake yesterday (crimes of a dying keyboard). No sign of any crashing, although it took a while to clean up! There is no unlimited number of windows that can be run on any system, and a phone has far fewer resources than a desktop or laptop. This is exactly why new windows should be under user control and not website control, so users can choose where to apply the resources!

Subject: Wrapping text before float drop
If I have two floats side by side, both are floated left as follow:
.myfloat{
float:left;
}
and both contain text as follows:
div class=myfloatLonger amount of text. Longer amount of text. Longer
amount of text. Longer amount of text./div
div class=myfloatSmall amount of text./div
Is there any way to prevent the second div from dropping below the first div
when the viewport is narrowed, without specifying widths for either of the
floats?
What I would like is for the text in the first div to wrap before the second
float drops below the first. Is this possible without using widths?
Thanks.
