This is a problem with Internet Explorer and the way it renders the HTML PRE
tag. Other, more standards compliant browsers, (such as Opera and Mozilla)
simply add a horizontal scroll bar.

IE instead panics and shuffles the DIVs around instead.

We spotted several scripts like this (mainly at the last minute) and "fixed"
them by shortening some of the longer lines. That will work in *most* cases.
But of course it messes with what might have been the author's
carefully-chosen indentation.

I've fixed slider.r and view-list.r -- do they look okay for you now?

Thanks for the bug report,
Sunanda.
