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
