Jay posts to a number of peer support forums. Only a drooling idiot would expect him to memorize every single post in every single group and have the ability to respond to points raised in other threads. > Scrolldown menus don't work properly (i.e. the mouse goes > anywhere NEAR them, and they scroll, making links underneath > them impossible to access), as in: > http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.html?cat=1&id=kungfujoe > This page doesn't validate: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dvdaficionado.com%2Fdvds.html%3Fcat%3D1%26id%3Dkungfujoe&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline If it were properly coded, it would be more likely to work. > Entire menu bars don't appear, such as the menu that's > supposed to be at the top of the screen on Ameritrade's site > after you log in: http://www.ameritrade.com As I don't have access to this site, I'll have to take your word for it.
