Subject:      A fix for those who can't search archives using Firefox
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi All,

As promised I've found a way to "fix" the archives website using a addon for Firefox called greasemonkey.

Greasemonkey allows you to change the look, feel, and contents of a html page before it is displayed by the browser.

You can find greasemonkey here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/

You'll need to install it into firefox by clicking on the "Add to Firefox" button. Then restart firefox and now you should see a little monkey icon (mine is in the upper right corner of the browser).

Click on the monkey to get a dropdown box and select "Add new User Script".

Here are the following details:

Name: VanagonArchives Namespace: VanagonArchives Description: Fix the incorrect HTML comment tags Includes: http://gerry.vanagon.com/*

Click OK

Then click on the monkey again and go into Manage User Scripts. You should see one called VanagonArchives.

Right click on it and select Show Containing Folder. A folder will appear with a file called vanagonarchives.user.js

Open that file for editing and add the following as the last line in the file:

document.body.innerHTML= document.body.innerHTML.replace(/(<!--- |<!---)/g,"<");

That should all be a single line. Save and close the file. Than go and reload the archives site. Everything should work now.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers, Harry
