[site] jakarta-maven.css trouble
Stephen (and all),
We have been having some problems with the HttpComponents site [1],
which is rendered incorrectly in IE (and apparently IE only) when the
jakarta-maven.css style-sheet is being used. The left-hand menu does
not display anything unless I run the mouse pointer over it. With the
style-sheet removed the site gets rendered correctly and consistently in
IE and Mozilla based browsers.
I have to confess I have only a very basic knowledge of the cascading
style sheets and simply have no idea what a cause of this problem may
be. I _believe_ you have originally authored this style-sheet. Do you
happen to have any idea?

Unfortunately, I still see the old results for the particular
browser/OS configuration below (I did the svn up for /www/j.a.o BTW).
Had a colleague open up jakarta-maven.css in VS.NET, complains:
'max-height' is not a known CSS property name
Then googling, "IE CSS max-height" (without the quotes ofcourse)
yields many confirmations that this won't work in IE, for example long
posts such as this one:
http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/
Ofcourse, I very much appreciate the time you've taken to get us off
of the commons-build dependency for site building. I don't have cycles
to dig deeper ATM, but maybe I'll revisit this in a week or two if no
one else beats me to it, since it seems the menus will remain broken
for a sizeable percentage of site visitors until we work around this.

I've fixed a bug in the commons css file which I think fixes this
problem for commons. However, the httpcomponents site still seems broken :-(
Can anyone else confirm that commons left menus now appear correctly on
IE for commons?

Here's what I see for [collections] and [io], for example:
http://people.apache.org/~rahul/commons/css-ie/
IE 6.0 Win XP SP2. Looks just fine on DeerPark / Opera / Moz / FF.

I just looked at [cli] with IE and all was fine. I did see the problem
with http components though. This would lead me to believe its a Maven 2
issue. Your claims seem to contradict that analysis.
Perhaps its an IE bug? Any web designers seen this happen before? (I'm
an amatuer really at css!)

I did notice the same behavior when I decided to move [scxml] to the
new site scheme, and then got distracted (and didn't complete the
move, thought I'd botched something in my setup -- still using old
scheme).
Now, I'm seeing it on [collections], [io], [jexl] etc. as well on the
jakarta site ... can confirm its IE only.
