Offline with Arachne 1.70r3 the shadowing works ok. I could not get
a duplicate set of links in the main frame. I do get the color change
from blue to red both offline and online.

Looking at the source with F6 I didn't see a referance to CSS.

The site seems mostly usable to me. It does have a little javascript
down towards the bottom, perhaps some kind of counter.

One Arachne idosyncratic behavior is shown here however.  Selecting one
of the links from the left hand frame, it loads ok but does not display.
Instead you get the main frame displayed over again.

Then clicking on the link a second time will get it to display
in place of the main frame.

I've noticed this Arachne behavior with frames on most other sites.
I have to click twice to get something displayed.

Has the handling of frames been improved with 1.71UE?
