Hello Ian,
Thanks very much for trying it out for me. Definitely heartening to hear
that it is working as expected. Apologies for not describing correct/broken
behaviour in the original post. Correct behaviour: word goes bold when you
click on it. Broken behaviour: the asfunction "hand" cursor appears
correctly, until you click on a word. In which case, nothing happens except
that the "hand" becomes an "arrow", and nothing appears to be clickable
anymore.
I too was very surprised to see that there was a difference on Vista,
especially as I tried it out on IE7 and FF2, and both had the latest version
of Flash Player. (Broken behaviour in both browsers, neither of which have
more than the default level of adblocking).
>From your results, it seems that it must just be the machine I tested it on.
I will have to try to get access to more Vista machines to confirm it.
Thanks once again!
CB Botha.
