G'day All,
I have come across an interesting problem in Mozilla v 1.2.
My son's web site, when viewed, has missing lines of text.
Dyslexia not withstanding

http://www.badbilly.net/story.php?id=37

I know the missing text is there, because when I run the mouse over the 
blank area, they are highlited.

At first I thought that the problem occured because he had written the 
pages using Front Page. And I said so.
Seems I was wrong. Quite wrong, sigh.
I quote, from Number One Son .......
<smile>
I don't use Front Page - I'm incredibly offended
There is no MS proprietary stuff!!!
It works [sic, under Windows] in IE5+ and Netscape 6+.
The reason why you can't read it [sic, the code] is it has been 
generated by a Database and Template engine, that is designed to be spat 
out of a computer to be read by another computer.
So in that sense in terms of developing the application, it is handcoded.
Don't you worry about the source code, just send me a screen shot.
end quote from Number One Son.....................

<frown>
I know how to do a screen shot under Windows, but now that I use only 
Debian, with the Xandros front end, I am stuck.
Those key strokes don't 'do it'.
Does any one know how to 'print screen' of a web page, gui style?
</frown>

If this can not be done easily, or the explanation is too lengthy, I 
will wait until the next Humbug Meet.

Cheers
Tony B

Footnote
Because Xandros has Wine, I tried viewing the page in IE. The page 
looked fine.
I wonder if someone with Firebird and Opera could check the page out?
