It is a big step further and with JavaScript it would be even more delightful. Thanks to all the guys who have worked on the project. Cheers Alan --

Now I think about it, I have got SparkFS on my machine, so I could used that. The original log has been lost. Michael Bell --

Since 2.5 came out there have been several updates on the test builds page, at least one of which is RISC OS-specific. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / zfc Yb \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

Splitting of open brackets and next letter
When bracketted text is in the wrong place on a line, then Netsurf may split the open bracket from the next character. For instance: rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb (text we dont want separating from its brackets) rhubarb rhubarb. Can get split to: rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb ( text we dont want separating from its brackets) rhubarb rhubarb. depending where on a line the bracketted text gets placed. I think this has been so over several version, not just NS 2.5. -- Cheers Roger Don't play with your food - play with somebody else's.

Without it I think any browser will perform these arbitary splits if provoked.

I'm sure I've raised a bug report for it. NetSurf can also word-wrap at a tag when there's no white space. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com Confidentiality statement: Imagine 50 lines of pointless verbiage.
