Which browser gives this behaviour?


I have been preparing HTML texts with SIL Ezra successfully with
Microsoft's IE 5.0, but when I changed to 5.5, I got the behaviour you
describe.  I have documented it at http://home.dencity.com/Jim-Henderson/
and reported it to Microsoft, but I have heard nothing back from them.

I have tested your example in IE5.5, and found the problem you describe
with Ezra, but not with BWHebb.
