A quick tip I’ve noticed for all those trying to Jailbreak their iPad (WiFi or WiFi + 3G) running 3.2.1. If you’re using Jailbreakme.com on your iPad a lot of people are getting the error “file received was invalid”.

    height:500px;
}

Firefox will go off of the min-height property, however, IE will ignore that and will render the element according to the height property.… read more
