With NetSurf, you have to scale the page down; 90% works here for me. And searching within a frame works here too. Right. The problem is that you can't scroll the whole frameset horizontally, and the individual frames can't be scrolled so NetSurf just gives up. I had to scale down to 70% to get the index frame in, although it will display some frames at 90% and full screen width. Other browsers have no such hangups with this site, and can display it. i think it is a bug in Netsurf. My inclination would be to greatly simplify and split up that page, and do away with frames altogether. I can't see the point of the noframes section - surely it would be better to provide links to the main index and search facilities. Are there any browsers where you can turn frames off? -- Cheers Roger Remember: walls have ears.

It searches the top level document, which is just a frameset in this case and therefore has no content. Perhaps that is also a bug, then, as other browsers (Firefox, Safari, etc) do search more than just the frameset... I think that perhaps it is the act of clicking on the page to show it which to search, and then clicking on a magnifying glass which confuses it and it starts searching where the magnifying glass is? And of course, it finds nothing... -- Cheers Roger Don't put off today what you could do tomorrow

If you specify the row height in the table row tag and that height is not exceeded by any cell or any object in any cell in the row, then the height of the row is much greater that it should be. If the height is not specified in the row tag then the row height is correctly set according to what is in the cells of that row. Example tr height=6tdimg src=images/spacer.gif width=1 height=6 alt=/td tdimg src=images/tlcorner.gif width=6 height=6 border=0 alt=/td td bgcolor=#d0img src=images/spacer.gif width=1 height=1 alt=/td/tr Gives a row that is much too high (probably sufficient to contain text although there isn't any), whereas trtdimg src=images/spacer.gif width=1 height=6 alt=/td tdimg src=images/tlcorner.gif width=6 height=6 border=0 alt=/td td bgcolor=#d0 height=6img src=images/spacer.gif width=1 height=1 alt=/td/tr gives the correct result.

A word of caution - I have just transferrred the URL to Firefox on a PC. If I didn't know there was a Subject index frame on the right-hand-side of the page I might not have automatically enlarged it to see if anything was missing. My default Firefox browser page displays just three frames. Regards Richard Incidentally - that's one hell of a database you have accumulated. Well done.
Random crashes
Hi, Ever since the upgrade to the parser I get random crashes, with Netsurf saying it has encountered a serious error and must exit. I don't remember having had this for a long time. Sometimes this happens almost immediately and at other times I can use the program for ages without a problem. I don't want to file a spurious bug report as since no one else has commented on this I wonder if it is something strange on my system. Any one else having the same problem?

If it's a duplicate the developers can close it. Any one else having the same problem? Yes, I've logged numerous crashes for various reasons (segmentation fault, aborted, floating point exception) but they didn't start with the new parser so that could be a red herring.

Re: Random crashes
HI, I've had a couple of these, too. Using r5229 on RISCOS 3.5. The second occurred when I was trying to report the first. It results in over 3 MB of logfile which fortunately compressed to under 50 KB, otherwise I couldn't have sent it. At least the machine doesn't lock up and it exits in an orderly manner. (Fine piece of software.) Overall it seems to be working better = faster and smoother. All we need is a mail programme to run alongside it.
