The issue with the invisible archive page is mal-formed html on the pages. A comment tag is started but not closed, effectively making the whole page a non viewable comment. IE ignores this miscoding while other browsers are more strict. This could be easily fixed in whichever file writes the header of these pages. Here's the bad code: <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <!--- img src="/img/eurovan.gif" width=179 height=130 alt="EuroVan" align=left> <!---img src="/img/vanagon_popped.gif" width=182 height=130 alt="Vanagon" align=right> It just needs a --> to close the comment and every browser could search the archives. Personally, I have the entire archive in GMail so I didn't notice the problem before it was mentioned here. John Meeks '91 Vanagon MV Northern Michigan Vanagon Rescue Squad www.vanagonauts.com
