<checks/>
Yes, Action has been taken. They have fixed it.
The menu is now images of text [1]. These do not resize so they never wrap.
The offending escaping text is now part of a flash movie so does not resize
and so can never escape from its box. <checks further/> Well, some of the
text anyway, they only fixed the "home" page. The rest resizes into white
space as before.
[1] took me a couple of minutes to figure out how they had done this. The
XHTML is quite ordinary:
<ul id="mainnav">
<li id="navhome"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
....
It's the CSS that does the trick:
#mainnav li a
{
....
text-indent: -9999px;
}
#navhome a
{
background-image: url(/images/nav_home.gif);
width: 64px;
}
Gotta love those web dreziners.
