Warning from Netsurf
I have just seen an error message of a sort I've never seen before: Warning from Netsurf (that's the title bar of the RiscOS panel) WARNING !!! Your browser is too old and will not display the page optimally ! (screechmarks are spaced exactly like that) The only action button provided is Continue This warning popped up when I tried to visit www.cordless-phones.uk.com/cordless-phones/cordlessphones-answering-machine/bt-synergy-4500-dect I inspected the HTML source of this page and can't see anything to generate such a warning from the browser. It's repeatable. So I'm curious: 1. By what process was this message generated? 2. Is it indeed Netsurf that generates the message? If so, it's ironic that I'm using a very recent build, Netsurf #2124. 3. Why is the error message not recorded by Syslog? The display of the page, by the way, seemed OK despite the warning. (Anyway, it was good enough to tell me what I wanted to find out about the cordless phone in question.)

Why is the error message not recorded by Syslog? I get this sort of thing frequently with Oregano but not usually with NetSurf. It's generated by the web page - javascript I guess. That figures because I try Oregano with sites that don't display on NetSurf. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ Skype: minijem2 mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.
