Re: Accessing tools from IETF pages
Tom, There's a compatibility view button in recent versions of IE that I've found helps with some websites. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/products/ie-9/features/compatibility-view. You can also find it in the Tools menu.

Accessing tools from IETF pages
I wanted to submit an I-D so I wanted to access the tools, as I have done before, so I clicked on 'IETF Tools' from http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/ and when that failed tried again with 'Tools Team Pages' from http://www.ietf.org/iesg/ with the same result. Can anyone else get to tools from that link? It resolves to http://tools.ietf.org/ which Internet Explorer (what else?) assures me cannot be displayed, either from the link or from typing it into the Open drop down. The trouble ticket drew a response of It sounds like the tools pages were experiencing some issues that have now been resolved. Well, for a few milliseconds, perhaps, but I get the same response 24x7x365x... Not that easily put off, I found a way around it (thank you, Google), but in the spirit of wanting others to be able to do what I can (with some difficulty) do, I would like those links to work (or to disappear).

Re: Accessing tools from IETF pages
Both links work just fine from a selection of browsers/os/machines other than Msoft. (Firefox, Evolution, Chrome) It also works on an old version of IE8 but reports errors. Presumably turning off some strict error checking in IE allows it to display. Running the page through the W3C HTML validator reports 14 Errors and 3 Warnings: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftools.ietf.org% 2Fcharset=%28detect+automatically% 29doctype=Inlinegroup=0user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F% 2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices /Elwyn On Wed, 2013-05-08 at 15:05 +0100, t.p. wrote: I wanted to submit an I-D so I wanted to access the tools, as I have done before, so I clicked on 'IETF Tools' from http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/ and when that failed tried again with 'Tools Team Pages' from http://www.ietf.org/iesg/ with the same result.
