Hmmm... The page that the Chamberlain Plaque is on doesn't have any kind of
strange HTML or Java scripts at all. I've tried to keep that kind of stuff
down to a minimum on the site as much as possible.  About the quote on
the plaque... it is:

    "In great deeds, something abides..."

It might be the ad banners AOL forces onto the pages.  My computer expert
found that the AOL ad banners threw a monkey wrench into things with an old
version of Netscape Navigator. Could be its doing the same for the most
recent version of IE or there's some setting in IE causing a problem with
it.  My expert did say they had heard of some problems with the latest
version of IE, but didn't have any specifics. I'll see if I can find out
more.

As to my site and HTML, there is an HTML table for the menu but that code
is fairly standard.  The only Java scripting is a style sheet on the story
pages to format the text, but there are a lot of sites I know of that use
the same type of setup for that.  So I doubt that could be the problem.

Just to check out the AOL possibility. Go by my personal site at:

    http://www.hometown.aol.com/ronwald/main.htm

If you experience the same types of problems there then its either
something to do with AOL's servers or the version of IE or both. (My guess
would be both... AOL and Microsoft would be the types of companies to
intentionally go out of their ways to make themselves incompatable with
each other.) That site only has a menu on it and no other sorts of java or
anything else.  It was put together using Microsoft's Front Page Express so
I would think there wouldn't be any compatability problems with any version
of IE.

Do let me know how the site loads with your other computer.  I'm quite
curious at this point to discover what might be causing this.

By the way, I just started reading the first episode of Star Trek: Athena,
"In Fire" and so far am enjoying it.
