That certainly ain't anywhere near cool. I get two parts of the page being
showing on top of each other. Somehow, just before "(unreadable) Magnus Manske
(uploaded "Arr_r.png": arrow right)" my browser (Netscape 6.2 under Linux)
sees a command "go to the top of the page", causing in everything being
written over so as to make it unreadable & unusable.

By the way, I'm having the same type of problem with the multi-language search:
The Polish results go to the top of the page rather than the bottom,
overwriting things. If I search without using 'Polska' (should be 'Polski',
btw) as one of the chosen languages it works like it should.

It is degined for decent browsers only ;-)

It also won't work under current Opera, due to Opera not implementing
all standards.

Any chance of getting the number of changes stat onto the "Short
Pages" listing ?

(It'd make it easier to differentiate between newbie experiments and
vandalism.)

That ain't cool:

http://math.ucr.edu/~toby/Recentchanges.bmp

(Sorry, bitmap was the best format that I managed to get for this scrreenshot.)
This was with Netscape 6 for Unix with JavaScript turned on,
but it looks just the same with Javascript turned off
(which is how I normally surf).

Obviously, the contents invades the top and sidebar. Does it do that all
the time, or just on that new Recent Changes version?

Anyway, it does *not* appear do be a fault of the script, rather one of
the browser. Of course, as the script uses some "advanced" features,
many old browsers will not display it correctly. I cannot help that. We
will, of course, have the "old" RC mode as well, if we ever use this on
wikipedia.

So far, I know about these browsers:
* IE 6 (probably 4 and above) work
* Mozilla (and thus Netscape 7) work
* Opera does *not* work
* Netscape 6 and below won't work

Anyone try Konqueror yet? What about Mac browsers?

Konqi is a bit buggy -- sometimes the top link is put below the expanded
links for some reason. But it expands the links as it should.

Only on the new Recentchanges -- not Watchlist, not old Recentchanges.

In the meantime, I'm having trouble keeping track of
the TeX testing going on on the test site '_`.

The phrasing of this list implies that Netscape 6 is not Mozilla.
Unlike Netscape 4 and below, it is.

AFAIK, Mozilla (1.0 and above) is the basis for Netscape 7. Am I
mistaken? If Netscape 6 would be Mozilla-based, the RC would work there,
would it not?

Netscape is Mozilla-based, and it's very likely that RC wouldn't work in
older Mozillas (N6 was based on Moz0.9 iirc).
