IE Collections works great. Plus it includes that dev tool bar, which
is nearly as nice as the webkit js console in Chrome, thanks Tim for
that link.

That's odd because I just reran all three versions of IE just now
using IE Collections, and IE6 is the only one that still has a minor
glitch in the display (the thin gray area far right), while IE7 and
IE8 display just fine (since I realized the obsolete CSS stuff after
Tim's first reply) and identically to FF and GC.

In any case I'm not going to worry about the minor IE6 issue unless it
turns out to be more than just cosmetic further down the road. The
w3schools browser stats
(http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp) indicate that
IE7, 8, FF, GC, Safari and Opera cover 85% of users. IE6 is 10%.
Oddly, just tried with Opera and that one shows the pubsub.sf.net page
worse than IE6 by far (Safari does well, identical to GC/FF).

Good to know, thanks Alan. Cheers,
