If you can tell us your URL, we can look at your CSS and tell you the error. :)

It definitely is a CSS issue. You can also look in your CSS and search for "border:" and then one of them will define a "red" border.

Sorry we only got PC.
but i tried to replace my css with one (for example called css #2) from another theme and i got the same problem, might seem problem not coming from css.
but if i choose a new style/theme (the one with css #2 file) in serendipity admin, the problem is off and blog looks nice.

strange isn't it ?

I have the same problem using default style serendipity v2.3.

Garvin could you test it yourself using login_plugin in left sidebar, or quicksearch.
a dotted line (with firefox) or a dashed line with IE is still around form area.
i'm not sure it comes from css error.

I cannot reproduce this on my own page, I need to see an live example of this.

Can someone make screenshots and post the HTML/CSS somewhere? I really need that to look at.

I think u should not change the xinha css file
just add that form css tag to ur own default style.css file.

I'll prolly disable the Forms plugin that is causing the problem
just go inside serendipity_event_xinha.php and scroll down till u see xinha_plugins and delete forms from it.
U don't need that plugin anyway. in v0.2 i already removed the forms plugin.

I see that there's additional "<html>" code and stuff being added to the output, this is quite bad - where does it come from? MySchizoBuddy, do you know if that is an option to disable all the HTML/BODY tags getting added?

And What about missing text on login_plugin on IE6 ?
How to solve that ?

(ok, i'll tell them to use firefox instead :lol: )
