Is it just me? When I go to the reinstated Mastertexts site to use the search facility ( http://www.mastertexts.com/index.php?PageName=Search ) I find the page distorted - the search box is w-a-a-a-y over to the right.

It is also fine with Opera. (Not that I use Opera often.) It is an absolute mess using Internet Explorer 6. I ran the page through an HTML validator. It is riddled with errors. I saved it to hard disk and ran the Tidy utility to correct the errors. It then worked on IE. SignaturePeter Duncanson, UK (in alt.usage.english) > Is it just me?

W-a-a-a-a-y over on the right (Check your bottom scroll bar) SignatureJohn Dean Oxford On 21 Nov 2006, John Dean wrote >>>>> Is it just me?

Search box is in the correct place in Firefox, FWIW. SignatureCheers, Harvey Canadian and British English, indiscriminately mixed For e-mail, change harvey.news to harvey.van >>>>> Is it just me?

Yesterday and today, I can see an unclickable couple of words (www . Master...) off to the right though not at the extreme right end. The Google logo (at the left) is clickable, though, and takes one to Google for searching. Is that, perhaps, the mode of search now being used for Mastertexts? SignatureMaria >>>>>> Is it just me?

SignatureSkitt (in Hayward, California) http://www.geocities.com/opus731/ > IE7 presents the page normally. Looks like I need to update. (And I wonder why I haven't yet done so.) SignatureMaria >> IE7 presents the page normally. > > Looks like I need to update. (And I wonder why I haven't yet done so.) YMMV but my reason is that I always wait a good while before updating *anything* so that I can be sure all the horror stories have been told and all the urgent fixes made available. I have to say I'm inclining more to the idea of Firefox than updating to IE7. SignatureJohn Dean Oxford >>> IE7 presents the page normally. >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >all the urgent fixes made available. I have to say I'm inclining more to >the idea of Firefox than updating to IE7. IE and Firefox are not, of course, mutually exclusive. I'd suggest that if you haven't already tried Firefox you should do so. Once you have gained experience with it you will be in a much better position to make a decision about IE7.

Is Firefox compatible with Outlook Express + Quotefix? SignatureJohn Dean Oxford |
