I often frequent http://marketwatch.com. Lately the market charts showing on the right are missing. They display in Chrome. What could cause them to stop displaying?

I've writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.

Works for me with normal font usage. If I reduce to 90% (Ctrl+-) they disappear,
but actually they are shown at the bottom of the page. Expect it would be their stylesheets.
Try varying your zoom level with Ctrl+0 (normal), Ctrl+- (reduce), Ctrl++ (increase)
Would seem they got something backwards in the styling as they should perhaps do that
when the zoom level is higher and base it on the actual window width.

Google Chrome does not do that at any zoom level.

Whap, bam! You got it man!. That's exactly it! Thanks.

Now I have something I can at least tell the webmaster about. Wonder what's wrong with their styling...

Wonder if this is likewise broke on Windows (I'm on Linux)...

Hmmm... Seems like it fails in FF on Windows too. Zooming in causes this - zooming out doesn't! Same behavior with IE 8.

Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?

Watch your last statement when communicating with the webmaster for
http://www.marketwatch.com/
I think you reversed Zoom In and Zoom Out.

I only have Windows:
Zooming out (Ctrl+-) fails in both Firefox and IE8.
Zooming in or out has no affect on Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari
(Ctrl++ is broken in Opera 10.01, but Ctrl+scrollwheel works)
