 I had a look at the VITTA website with a some of different web browsers and
all seems OK. I have a problem reproducing an issue with IE, unless there
are some extra security policy tweaks added in at your school or mystery
interpretation of W3 standards by an IE7 upgrade that I missed .. worth your
while testing with another browser like Firefox.

We work hard to keep the VITTA website code compliant with W3 standards.
Say, has anybody noticed what happens if you surf the VITTA website with a
PDA or mobile phone? (grin)

http://Browsershots.org can make screenshots of a web page using different
web browsers on different operating systems. It submits a web address to a
series of distributed computers that make different screenshots that are
uploaded back to a central web server. There are probably other websites
about that do something similar. It is a free (open-source too) online
service. I have used it with my students to search and explore some
non-standard's compliant (does that become in-compliant?) websites .. you
can guess which ones :-)

I think that it means, B comes before N (this short list is sorted
alphabetical)  ;-)
