Hi, I have been using the libsmi web site pages for a while now and appreciate all the detailed information that has been provided on the web site. I have been using the web site via MS Windows 2000 Netscape and had no problems. Since the change to the web site pages, I can't view the information well anymore. The frame(??) with the list of Home, Library, Tools, etc. takes up the whole window and I have to scroll far to the right to see the actual text. I realize fewer people are using Netscape these days but if anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate the information.
So then I switched to using MS Windows 2000 IE. Most of the pages look fine with IE but when I select any of the _man_ pages I have to scroll to the right to view all the text. This is much less convenient that it used to be when the full text was displayed within the window without having to scroll. Is there a way to correct this in IE? I tried changing the text size to "smallest" but I still have to scroll to the right to view all the text. We usually use the online documentation instead of printing pages from the web site. That way we ensure we have the latest information on a function. While we appreciate that the web site is well maintained, the recent changes make it more cumbersome to use the online documentation. Thanks,

Hi Kristine!
Thanks for your feedback on the rendering of the new libsmi web site layout on Web browsers under MS Windows. As far as I know MS IE (even in recent versions) is known to be a quite bad implementation of CSS (W3C Cascading Style Sheets) and older incarnations of the Netscape Navigator as well.
I'm one of the guys who don't waste time on adjusting web pages so that they comply to Web browsers that don't care sufficiently about official W3C standards. Furthermore, I don't use any MS software at all, so that I simply cannot fix things that are probably easy to fix. In this sense, I can only suggest to use a better Web browser, e.g. Mozilla or Opera.
I'm sorry that I cannot give a more helpful response. Maybe someone else can...

I can say that the web pages look just fine with Mozilla 1.2.X or 1.3Beta on Win 2k.
