But nowhere near as bad as | Firefox does. | I tried your site and loaded "Soldier, militants killed in Gaza" and then loaded the forty cartoons that I mentioned. I scrolled up and down the whole time that the forty sites were loading without any problems. I picked a URL from the page and reloaded all tabs. That would be forty-two pages. Still no problem scrolling up and down on the original page. I am not doubting what you say ;-) but I don't see this problem here. - -- ~ David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkfQav4ACgkQAO0wNI1X4QGGpwCfdF7ScJDc16sJNvLcDhaPdi6/ 8ugAoLWxdeIcnqoq96baehMcT9AOh5CH =86Uz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
