Re: [PCTECH] Alternative browsers

[Tom Liotta <qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When behavior like this happens to me nowadays, the _first_ thing I do 
is see if there's a new JVM from Sun. Perhaps a majority of times, a new 
JVM clears these things up. Not perfect results, but it's often enough.

Seems like fancy web developers _must_ use every fancy combination 
that's in the latest beta, and I wouldn't be surprised if IBM web 
developers have the latest of a lot of stuff. Very irritating at times.

In any case, I haven't had this particular problem since Netscape 6.1 
and V5R1 InfoCenter. Now using Netscape 7.1.
