I checked the site out with V3 version 3.0.26, V2 version 2.95 and
Ibrowse v1.1; and they all displayed the page exactly the same: 3
image "click me" banner across the top, a single column of links on
the left and blank space to the right; after the end of the quicklinks
column, a 3 column layout.
I looked quickly at the code. It has style sheets and javascript. My
guess is that since V3's handling of JS is poor, and the other
browsers I used don't have JS, but your AWeb does and the page
displayed "properly" compared to NS & MS, that JS is the problem or
the lack of a proper implementation in V is.
FYI: more and more web sites are implementing more and more JS, Java
applets and tighter security; as they do Voyager falls farther and
farther behind taking with it the Amiga platform into ancient history.
Plus the fact that V3 is really still in development, buggy and slow
in many areas -- large tables and monitor display priorities, for
example. It just can't change fast enough to keep up.
