A php comments app that I'm trying to finish up on is at

http://www.abstractdissonance.com/PageComments.php

I'm having trouble styling the divs so that I can fix the width of the
comments but keep the right width justified instead of staggered as it is.
(or atleast its staggered in FF but not in IE)

Right now I'm just trying to get the basic styling stuff worked out and will
fix the other issues later. Just trying to get some idea of what I need to
code to make it work(all the php/mysql stuff is finished luckily). (not
worried about the source formatting at the moment so don't bitch that you
can't read it)

What I'd like to do is add some type of guides to the left of the messages
sorta like in windows explorer for folders where there is the dotted lines
that guide you to the nestings. Not sure if this is possible or not(atleast
in an easy way)?

Any other ideas to make it better would be appreciated too(I know the style
that I'm presenting right now is not good but it was just something I put
for now... I'll probably be adding a little graphical stuff to it to make it
look better along with adding more formating to improve readablility. Right
now I'm just trying to get over some of the major issues I'm having before I
try to work on the superficial aspects).

Thanks,
Jon
