[EDIT Sunday March 13 2015] There is now :mrgreen:
See bugzilla report 1143381

The strange thing is that the other browsers I tested (Safari 5.1.7 for windows, Internet Explorer 11.0.17) exhibit the same problem. Since they don't exhibit the layout problem of this thread, however, I can only assume they instituted cover up fixes on top of the basic bug.

I couldn't completely understand the bug filed but it seems to make sense - sorta :)

Here again is the page more complete. This seems to work fine in Fx and IE9 except for the font sizes which have always increased in IE for me.

The gotnarcosis.com website has closed. I no longer have it for posting code and/or images :(

I often take a long windy road to my destination. Upon arrival, I wonder how I missed the shortcut.
