I have not had problems with www.filinginoregon.com, which is the only state website I've used recently. I'm using FireFox-1.5.0.1 on OpenBSD/amd64. following some of the links from there which go to *.state.or.us and clicking around, doing some random searches, etc, doesn't seem to have any issues either. although www.puc.state.or.us is slightly slower to render than other state websites. that particular site seems to use more javascript than others. the only changes I have made to my FireFox config were increasing the font sizes. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
