I tried WebTV a few months ago, and I must say, it's using a very, very
non-standard browser that they apparently wrote themselves.  It doesn't
support a number of html features, and the ones it _does_ support are
more limited: things like java and java-script are right out.  While I
don't recall Jody doing anything odd with the web site, I rather suspect
he didn't go out of his way to use a limited subset of HTML, either.

There is really no way to fix this short of redoing the entire web site,
which I think is way too much effort for Jody and of limited utility to
the rest of us.  I think you really need to get a better browser, and
that means getting a _real_ PC.

regards,
Larry Smith
