Arrogant web designers, and I use the terms web designer loosely, who don;t know their rectums from a whole in the ground. LOL I already have filed one complaint - somewhat informally - and will file a more formal one, now that my suspicions have been cnofrmed............... As far as not using the site, well, that's not an option for the next three years. It's a paid membership site that provides my son's curriculum and their curriculum is considered one of the best. Their non-member area is not browser specific, only the members area. The Firefoc on my son's Windows machine handles it fine,</blockquote><div> Now that *is* odd. Is it the same version of Firefox? Oh wait... Do the Javascript menu's happen to be hidden behind flash? If so, then I was wrong: it's an issue with the Flash player for Linux. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&btnI=Im+Feeling+Lucky&q=flash+hide+menus+linux">http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&btnI=Im+Feeling+Lucky&q=flash+hide+menus+linux</a> </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> so we can live with it. I just have to use his machine if I want to access the curriculum materials. I cna access the progess reports fine on my machine. It's the stuff inside the main frame that does not work. Anyway, thanks for the info. One of these days people will learn that using Windoes machines, either as desktops or servers, is not in their best interest! LOL - -- Peace!
