Addendum to this post: How odd... I can get the site to render properly
in IE, FF and Op on my older Windoze 2k server, but not, under any
conditions or on any browser on my Linux laptop (including installing FF
User Agent Switcher, and setting it to render the site as Windows Vista,
IE 7). However, I'm also currently (as I write) watching an episode of
CSI on CBS.com via Adobe Flash Player 9 - on my Linux laptop. Somehow,
I don't think the problem is with the Linux/Flash combination, but,
rather, something with the site.
Cheers;
Ed
