Minor rant: I *hate* it when web page designers install features that are specific to one browser (and that browser is always IE). I refuse to use Microsoft's buggy, clunky, obsolete browser unless I have to. When I come to a page that will only run under IE, my opinion of the organization that created that page drops several notches: come on people, try again, and this time plug in your brains first. The only outfit that has ANY reason to make a web page browser-specific is Microsoft itself, and my opinion of *that* company is already low. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= James Stimpert Archivist (Arts and Sciences) E-mail: [log in to unmask] MSE Library Johns Hopkins University Voice: (410) 516-8323 3400 North Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21218 Fax: (410) 516-7202 >>> "Wood, Thomas J" <[log in to unmask]> 8/14/2006 2:27 PM >>> I found it ironic that the story "Formatting for the Future"* cited in the latest RAIN reporting that "Important public documents could be rendered all but inaccessible when the applications that created them went out of style" has formatting problems of its own: it won't display correctly in Firefox. This HTML document is brand-new and already has software compatibility problems. * http://www.govtech.net/magazine/story.php?id=100356 Thomas J.
