"sponsored link" box too small for mozilla

could the "sponsored link" boxes be made just a few pixels taller? when i'm scrolling down a page with the mouse wheel and go over a box, the page stops scrolling, and the "sponsored link" box starts scrolling. it seems pretty minor, but it's annoying when you have to dodge the ads with your eyes and your mouse.

It doesn't scroll on any of my computers. I made it slightly bigger ... does this fix the problem?

It works fine for me in Internet Explorer for Windows, Firefox for Windows, Mozilla for linux, Konqueror for linux, and Safari for the mac.

I think I may understand what is going on - it was hard for me to picture yesterday because I have never experienced it myself. But basically what you are seeing is an IFrame that has been invoked by JavaScript. An IFrame is the only way that you could be experiencing a mini-scroll within a scrolling window. Now here is the unfortunately part ... unfortunately, it is not a result of DaniWeb's design at all. It is actually due to something being wrong with the code from Google in displaying the Google AdSense text ads. If you could describe the problem to me in detail, I will submit it as a bug report to Google.

See, the problem is that Google's JavaScript calls a buggy IFrame tag. However, I just call the JavaScript - not the IFrame. I will submit a bug report for you. What OS / browser / browser version are you using?

OK, I'll submit that to Google. In the meantime, I've used RH9/Fedora and Firefox and DaniWeb works fine for me with that ... any reason why you're using Mozilla instead of Firefox?
