USGA Rule of the Day

http://www.usga.org/Rules.aspx?id=7788#show=ae24f9d42fea42b89a48cdee24ce9a9b,
the Rule of the Day works weird.
With Firefox, it is in a window that is mostly visible by scrolling -
except there's a line "Rules of Amateur Status" blocking my view, so I
can't read the last lines.
With I.E. & Opera & Safari, the question isn't visible - I have to
click on "previous rule"
Google Chrome appears to work correctly.

Looks like they programmed it to work with FF only. I'd report it to
the site and to Opera (bug report).

If 'twas me, I would just report it to the usga webmaster. All browsers
handle errors in code differently, and the above page has many of them.
Exactly how to display an error is up to the developers.

"Sorry! We found the following errors (166)"
I've looked through the myriad of CSS (written in hugely long lines) and
believe it is a conflict of height assigned to the div that Rule of the
Day is displayed in. IOW, it's not a browser error (any browser), but a
web author error(s).
Browsers have rules to follow to display *valid* code, but are free to
interpret errors in their own way.
There is a special style sheet for Internet Explorer, but no other
browser sniffing is evident.

Point well taken. My suggestion to report to both comes from the sense
over the years in the way problems have gotten solved that Opera sends
the site a message if it's not a browser error. Rijk can probably tell
us if that's true or an erroneous impression.

..CSS which measures over 78 Kilobytes ... and I pity the person who is
assigned to find errors.

Sure, I guess that's okay. Worst, he can ignore it. Next-worse, he
spends time sifting that 78KB, sends a message to USGA, and *they*
ignore it! ;-)
