Dear Dean, I copied some HTML documents from my PC to the BN using the CompactFlash card. I discovered the following:
1. I couldn't make the BN cycle through the list of html files on the CompactFlash card. Since the documents had long file names, I didn't want to type the full pathname. Could something be done so you can cycle through html files stored on a CompactFlash card? As a work-around, I copied the files from the CompactFlash card to the My Favorites folder. 2. Some of the documents read well, but others had lots of garbage in them. By garbage, I mean 1 pixel, option field this and that, etc. 3. Sometimes, the browser would say a document was 100% finished, but the BN still beeped. When I pressed escape, the documents appeared in computer braille instead of grade 2. I was able to read others in perfect grade 2 braille. 4. Some of the documents not only had garbage in them but some of the data was lost. I ended up editing the html documents using my PC and transferred them to my BN. Note: when I opened the documents with lost data using Internet Explorer, all of the "lost" data was there. Perhaps there's a difference to the BN's mind between reading html documents saved with IE and reading html documents straight from the web. Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
