Absolutely. "Me too." I was not meaning to cast aspersions on the excellent work by the NetSurf team. I find it so quick (combined with booting RISC OS) that compared to loading FF (on a reasonably quick but booting PC) I can have researched something via Google all the way to a page that doesn't quite work in RO Netsurf and transferred a URL file to a common directory before the PC has booted and FF is ready to paste it in! Though less capable, I find it an invaluably better tool in terms of productivity. It is no wonder to me that FF on Iyonix is slow and not because anything its porter has done, I am certain. It means that the native NetSurf is streets ahead of the competition, albeit without some of the wallpaper and ornaments. At least I can be pretty sure that if a web page works as intended in Netsurf it will pretty much work everywhere. After that I find MIE the quirky one for which changes to table cell alignment have to be made, for one thing. NetSurf has its foibles but so does everything. If you have many web sites gradually to change over to CSS it is a simple-ish exercise to begin by adding <link type="text/css" rel="StyleSheet" href="/style.css" /> after the </title> and change <body..........> to <body> on every page. Webchange is ideal for this. http://www.webchange.co.uk/ If you have all your web sites stored in a master web site directory (as here) those changes can be made to every HTML page in every site in one go. Then give each web site its own style.css file. Unfortunately, if you have the habit of varying the old <body..> attributes from page to page this will be of limited use. ;-) Also unfortunately, there are some issues with NetSurf loading CSS files locally so you may not know it all works except when uploaded to your web space. -- Tim Hill, www.timil.com
