You're welcome, and huge thanks for the precise bug report despite
your loaner laptop attempting to discourage you from making it ;-)
I'm slightly mystified by the bug however, and unfortunately (or
fortunately ;-) I don't have a Windows 7 machine to test with. I can
only imagine it's either a quirk with JQuery, or the result of my lack
of experience with it. If you happen to have any JQuery experience, I
could share the original CoffeeScript source in case it sheds any
light. Other suggestions welcome too.
Regarding PDF download - I did wonder how long it would take for
someone to request this ;-) Yes, of course that is possible, and
I'll add it to the TODO list.
Cheers,
Adam
