Whilst not relevant to the general thread, I have solved the SSL certificate problem, by using the guide available here: http://www.dylanbeattie.net/docs/openssl_iis_ssl_howto.html[^] which seems to work for generating a CA and signing a key using xp pro sp3, IIS 5.1 and openssl 0.9.8k. Thought I'd link it in case this thread shows up from a search for CA problems or somesuch. Disclaimer: I have not had time to look into the security implications of this approach, and don't know if there are any problems with following it. Don't use this on a publically accessible machine unless you know what you are doing. I'm only using it for a test certificate.

Well I figured out what causes the breaking layout. There's a self closing link tag in there with just an ID. This can be used eg. to link to a certain point within a page. It validates fine. Placing a link like that into the page seems to make all the other links render strangely. Swapping it with an empty tag avoids the problem. I'm pretty sure this is a beta bug - I've sent it to the newsgroup. Shrug.

Many thanks for your help Jared

Ahh Well sppotted - thanks. From reading the other sections, it seemed that it was already running on untrusted clients. From the tone of that, it seems that they are at least going to consider the security aspects before doing that.
