 | | S@H woes —Mark Sandlin
|
| | | OK, I've tried to be patient on this but I've had enough. Whenever I go to Shop @ Home and follow a link to a new page, I have to wait for a good solid 30 seconds while my browser displays a message that says "Please wait, menus being loaded." It (...)

| | | | | | | | | Guess what? Those S@H menus don't work in IE 4 either. (Time to upgrade?) It turns out, IE 4 can't even be used on Microsoft's website anymore because too many links are implemented as javascript actions instead of, um, links. For instance, it's (...)

| | | | | | | | | | I've been testing different browsers on my own web site (trying to implement advice the books give on being compatible--not easy.) Anyway, now I have Mac IE 3, 4, and 5 set up. Only 5 plays well with www.lego.com. It is more tolerable than Netscape (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Apparently, it does not take that long for the menus to load on a PC. Since LEGO doesn't (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
