This is to replace my style that did some additional little stretching of containers using CSS that only applied to FireFox's Quirks display mode.

I was finally inspired to perfect this when I was at userscripts.org and found this http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6415 -- but it was oddly shrinking FARK headlines to the [tag] and others to about 2px wide. it sucked.

So, I found out that just stretching html and body to the max, and setting max-width: inherit to all elements simultaneously did everything that script says it should do and more.

Other styles have been preserved.

Update 4/24/07:
I hadn't used sharing or staring for a long time in Reader, so I didn't know something was off about this style until I turned it off to figure out a problem I had with the folders in the sidebar collapsing themselves. Because I don't star or share anything anymore, I had also adblocked all */reader/ui/* images, and so icons weren't even being displayed. Apparently my style was pushing the star icons out of existence. I've now made it so icon areas are forced to be displayed inline, and that the padding-left and padding-right alterations don't squeeze them out anyways.

Additionally, changed left-right margins to auto, will work better if you decide to more specifically shrink something.

Same her, previous script worked pretty well, this not at all... :-(

Is it just me or does this script work terribly. It collapses elements upon each other and makes the page almost unusable. Maybe a fix or is it my system? *
