And even my center-text&set-a-certain-width-bookmarklet does work with every site but not with simplepedia. Well what about a simplepedia-script that makes the content more comfortable to read by applying a text center and certain width assignment function. Design is awesome so far. Nice one!

Wikipedia is written assuming it can go as wide as it wants, and some pages with tables get to be pretty huge. I never maximize windows or use full screen browsing on high resolution monitors.

Normally without any scripts the page would show the same behaviour (go as wide as it wants) anyway. seems like because of the script center and width settings are somehow blocked.
