kind of a nitpicky thing, but... Options

...there's this little black dot on my xanga at the top of the text area, and I have no idea how it got there, and therefore no idea how to get rid of it.

Here's the code, if this helps:

And my xanga: [linky]

[YourSuperior]

I viewed your site, and there's not a little black dot above your text area on my computer.

[lovescream]

^It's a period, small tiny, northwest of the playlist.

Umm.. I'm looking through the code but I see no extra period? Try looking yourself. I think it's above the playlist code since the dot is above of it.

edit:
try removing the period of this:

input, select, textarea, iframe.htmleditor, .textfield, .button {
/* this edits the buttons, dropdowns, etc. */

after etc.

Doesn't show up in firefox. Wanna know what it is? It's for the music... Right-click on it. You'll see what I'm talking about.

[centaur_passion]

Spiritedfreak: Bah, tried that, it didn't work. Maybe it's a strange thing with Internet Explorer...I think I'll try messing with some of the settings.

[YourSuperior]

Maybe it's just internet explorer. I don't see it and I'm using internet explorer. Nyah-Nek0 doesn't see it in Firefox. Maybe it's just your playlist or something.

[shortvi3tlaydee]

i dont see the dot or w.e and im using IE

[YaWeaveIzOnFiyah]

I have the SAME EXACT THING in my playlist box, but check looking around in your scripts, or it may just be something in your LOOK AND FEEL box that you're not seeing. I've checked mine a hundred thousand times and yours looks fine, maybe that just happens when you use one of those scripts in a div?

[talcumpowder]

^ You, it's not anything BAD, it just allows you to change the volume and some other stuff in IE. Right-click on it, and a menu should pop-up with music-related commands.
