It was even worse. Yeah, I don't know why (seemingly) nobody tests with that (and I can't seem to find the command in Opera 10, which is disappointing). Basically, without a handheld style sheet, most sites are screwed (and they are easy enough to create). > > No mobile device expected to be used - to be used in a school > situation with a teacher present. > >> There is not any "go back and change the answers" functionality.

Ah, ha! An easy question for a change. It is in the drop down menu for 'view' using "The Purloined Letter" approach <lol> of hiding it as "small screen". It appears to ignore css and displays in a narrow width column. K.

In the second example you give "Shop search". It is hard coded. K. |
