JavaScript-driven and CSS-driven dynamic content are not supported in NetSurf's render engine at this time.

Yes, the source file was called !2018.css but its RiscOS filetype was still text. I changed the filetype to CSS and Netsurf is now happy. I can't quite get my head around this (not that it matters, since things are working now): - The distant server (probably running on Linux) does not care about RiscOS filetypes and Netsurf correctly displays pages from there when my !2018.css has RiscOS filetype as text - The local development server (Webjames) does a successful GET of !2018.css whatever its RiscOS filetype, but Netsurf does not display pages correctly when !2018.css is Ro-filetyped as text, and *does* display them correctly when !2018.css Ro-filetype is changed to CSS. -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk || See you at the show? www.riscos-swshow.co.uk Feb 24

Search for a unique-ish word that is used in one of the menus. You might find a bunch of stuff matching all the menu words to a specific URL within the site, including the menu words that would appear as a drop-down in the mainstream browsers. I recently found this to be the case in one site I use a lot, so I concocted myself a little "menu-bypass.html" page that takes me direct to any page I want.

Typical is the "Results" tab in www.wodql.org.uk which behaves as expected when viewed in all other browsers I've tried; similarly the overflow of the last menu item, which could be related, is peculiar to NS. -- Sent from my Android tablet.
