I’m having another problem. I can’t set the background colour on the bounding box on the menu at the top of the page. In Firefox and Webkit, you should see rounded corners at the top of each menu item, but the bounding box should be the same colour as the body background.

Here’s the css:


.sf-menu {
     border-right:1px solid #ccc;
     float:left;
     background: #EBB0F5;
}

and later, i define the css for the .sf-menu li box:


.sf-menu li {
        background:             #fff;
}

The rounded corners are defined here:


.sf-menu a {
        border-left:1px solid #ccc;
        border-top:1px solid #ccc;
        border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;
        padding:9px 13px;
        text-decoration:none;
        -moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px;
        -moz-border-raduis-topright: 10px;
        -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 10px;
        -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 10px;
}

The html renders thusly:

a problem with partial lines

I’m having a problem when I use the google fonts: when I scroll down or up through the document, some lines are only showing the top half of the line. If I click away, then come back, the screen repaints and the lines are fully shown. Anyone know what causes this?

Here’s a screenshot showing the problem:

I’ve recreated the Storyteller site in WordPress, so it’s easier to maintain and update with new stories. The stories themselves are written as Pages instead of Posts, so they have some permanence.
