Hi Lance,
when I load IRU pages in Firefox, the Curiosity Countdown Clock in the right upper corner briefly flashes up looking like it should look, then it changes its appearance to that in the screenshot below.
Any idea why that would happen?

Interesting. It doesn't work in Chrome either.
I'll try to take a look at it.

My Windows XP, Professional Edition, mocked by Lance, displays it perfectly.

I suppose it is not the OS - I see it not working in Win XP Pro and Win 2000. It is probably Firefox...

Well, it was written as a Windows Desktop Gadget which renders in an Internet Explorer engine. So it's the browser, not the OS that matters.
Different browsers render some things differently. IE used to be very bad at being non-complient with the standards but has gotten better.

The funny thing is that I am moderately sure that the thing did work in the beginning, then broke down.

I did change the math at one point but that shouldn;t have effected the layout.
Or maybe it did.
