Hmm... Are you able to browse any project on Google Code? What happens if you go here:
http://code.google.com/hosting/ And pick one of the project labels at random and go to one of the projects that it lists? Can you browse the code for that project? If it has the same problem then I'd guess something odd is going on with your browser, and I would try a different browser to check that. -Mike > From: julz > > Thanks so much for all the responses!
