Hi, Let's take this complex problem and break it down. The problem as
it now exists is that there are lots of styles for using the web.
Some people are used to being able to easily skip past the top links
and going on to read what they wish to read in this context an
article. If web designers continue to insist on coding pages in this
manner, this will continue to be an option that might please some.
Now, in the newest itteration of jfw with ie, it is not easily
possible to skip those links. We have already dealt with the page
down issue so we shall now deal with the practice. Austensably, there
are stories which are "continued" and there is a link that expresses
this. In the 4.01 behaviour, it is possible to easily get to this
continu link by hitting page down. in the current itteration, it is
not. I've tried both ways and I have also tried ins+enter which does
not seem to help here for some reason.
I have a fairly good understanding of the problem and I know there are
solutions other than "page down" and I also know that it is possible
to do it the old way but if I can help further either for someone to
understand the problem or to answer it, I'd be happy to do so.
Thanks!
