Thanks Lloyd. I normally use the mobile site to get rid of clutter, but
there are things you can't do there.
I also usually use ie8 as ff seems to not do a few things. For example,
when they're shown, "skip to content" or similar worded links don't seem
to work and when I refresh a page or change something, I'm put at the
top of the page instead of my last position. But maybe I'm missing a
setting or something as I'm relatively new at using ff.
Anyway, thanks for the pointers and I'll give them a try.
They keep fooling around with their page content, so what works today
may not work tomorrow. But, as you say, it's a challenge. <smile>
Thanks,
Don w6smb
