I think the way Netsurf works with frames at the moment is definitely 4 steps backwards to the way it used to work. Firefox now fares much better in this regard, but Netsurf used to be much better than Firefox in this regard. Why? Because previously in Netsurf you did not even have to click in the frame to scroll it with the mouse wheel, merely hover the mouse over the selected frame. [With Firefox you had to click in the selected frame before it would scroll using the mouse wheel]. I will keep down-loading newer versions of Netsurf until I find one that works as well as did the version of just 3 months ago. -- Cheers Roger The only thing that moves is the wind.
