screen width problem

[edit]
Resolved

This page layout screws up on my semi-low res monitor (~1000 pixels narrow). The bus table overlaps with an image

It's not the screen width per se, but some peculiarities of recent changes to the Wikipedia CSS (with MediaWiki 1.17 a few weeks ago) regarding the relative placement of boxlike objects such as infoboxes, images and tables. Problems on this page are mainly down to the second image (counting the infobox image as the first) being right-aligned but near the start of the wikicode, so it's forced down the page by the infobox. The result of this varies between browsers. In Opera it all looks fine. In Firefox and Chrome, the text starts in the proper place, but the third image is forced down by the second, so that the table overlaps the third image. In Internet Explorer 7 there is a huge wodge of blank space between the article title and the lead paragraph, the text being aligned with image 2. Personally I try to avoid putting any right-aligned image anywhere near an infobox; I usually try to pull it down the wikicode, and also left-align it.
 Done Anyway, I've made a few small changes which fix it for three of those browsers, at the expense of slightly more blank space in Opera. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:18, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
