Re: [Bodington-developers] New Style Creation Pages

[Brian P. C. <bm...@bm...>]

We downloaded the HEAD version at Leeds yesterday - looks 
smashing.

On IE 6.0 sp 2, running off the Sun app server,  when the amazon, 
google boxes in the side frame first appear there is a brief flash of 
the expanded forms before they collapse.  Does anyone else get 
this?

Also, when investigating our previous getWriter() problem, we 
noticed that the modify function on a web document didn't take 
root. On reload, no modifications were evident.

Is this universal, or another local issue?

Regards,

Brian
