Re: Firefox version of World Tipitaka

Bryan,

The World Tipitaka doesn't have any of the DPR's tools; it is just a
basic set of texts.

Khristos,

I fixed the overlap issue; it doesn't occur in Chrome for some reason,
so I missed it.  Several other issues have been fixed now too.  Please
do let me know (everyone) if you find a bug.  It looks like almost 200
people downloaded the DPR in the past two days.

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo
