    after updating, and seeing something weird, I checked the source, it seems here is a little cosmetic problem involved. Check the source code for this:

    <div class="wrap">
    <h2>Simpler CSS Options ——&mdash; Custom Styles</h2>

    Hi Ovidiu,

    Thanks for your feedback. I'll look into this soon and post a fix when I see the problem.

    Regards,
    Frederick

    Hi,

    There does appear to be an XHTML error, with a <td> tag that is mistakenly not closed. I've fixed the issue on my local copy and will be committing it as 0.3.1 soon.

    This doesn't seem to be relevant to the code you copied above, though, so please let me know if there is another issue.

    On another note, I would recommend that you upgrade from WordPress 2.7.1 to WordPress 2.8. I'm not seeing any obvious cosmetic issues on WordPress mu 2.7.1 nor on WordPress 2.9-rare.

    Regards,
    Frederick

    hmmm... maybe I wasn't clear, can you find the above code in the source? if yes, that is the problem, look at the second line I posted above: 'Simpler CSS Options' is followed by some weird characters...

    Hi,

    &mdash; is the HTML entity for the em-dash which looks like this: —. It's wider than a hyphen (just compare — to -).

    This shouldn't be a problem unless your browser doesn't support the &mdash; entity.

    Regards,
    Frederick

    I know that but I have 2 weird symbols before that particularly wide dash. the dash is displayed just fine...

    anyway, leave it be, its just cosmetical :-)
