          I had just the opposite experience with your site. Came up fine the first time I hit it. When I refreshed the browser, all the tables were strangely arranged. I agree, though. If the browser can render it fine one time, why not all the time. "Those that say a task is impossible shouldn't interrupt the ones who are doing it." - Chinese Proverb

              Ok After this discussion I installed ie2 (from firefox) and started using it. One complaint so far. I check google in the searches toolbar. But whenever I search it still turns up results from steadysearch. What on earth is steadysearch and why would I want it over google ?!:) \edit Ok looks like hitting enter sends it to steadysearch and using the search icon takes it to google. Still this doesn't look so impressive. \edit " Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill ? "

              I know, that is buggy. Just install the stardard Google Toolbar and then enable the IE plugin for google in the MyIE2 options. Then it will show up just like in IE.

                That's what I mean. Every once in a while it comes up and display like crap. I hit refresh and its fine. In fact, I've had a few ppl send me emails stating that they can't view it in FF. I tell them to refresh and it works for them too at that point. It's very odd - and extremely frustrating.

                  I real prefer Slim Browser.[^] It's IE with tabbed browsed and ad blocking as well. I just turn off skins after I install it and it's fine. It's got very nice 'new URL' feature, where it opens up a new tab if a new URL is entered in. I've been using it for the last few months and I haven't had a problem with it other than a few popups here and there, in which AdAware likes to kill the whole browser. I don't care for Netscape or Mozilla/FireFox. And Opera is just a god-awful POS. I have found SlimBrowser a fine alternative to using multiple IE windows.

                                      The latest version of NS works fine, but Opera and FireFox both have the problem with my site. Oh well. I spent quite a bit of time on it and even had some web people crawl over the code. They all said they couldn't find anything wrong with the HTML. *sigh* Cheers, Tom Archer "Use what talents you possess.

                                        Unfortunately ppl want to run it like it's release code and complain when the site doesn't display correctly. Why oh why do we need yet another browser to worry about? Cheers, Tom Archer "Use what talents you possess.

                                          anders i think being a bit pissed off about a link checker that destroys my database is a bit more understandable than ur posting here no?
