OPML Editor and IE 7 working yet?   Message List

Re: OPML Editor and IE 7 working yet?

Thanks to the "Usual Suspects" we are or should be back on track
using the OPML Editor with IE7 and/or Windows Vista if you are that
way inclined.

Step by Step this worked perfectly Stan.

To clarify a little on the changes made to background.html

The code for the file should look very similar to this.

<html>
<head>
<title>OPML Editor</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="25%,75%">
<!-- Begin IE7/Vista Bugfix
<frame src="http://127.0.0.1:5337/viewTools" marginwidth="15"
marginheight="15" scrolling="no">
End IE7/Vista Bugfix -->
<frame src="" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1"
scrolling="yes" name="pageviewer">
</frameset>
</html>

I now even have a post up and a screenshot, first time in ~6 Months I
have easily been able to work with the editor instead of laptops or
virtual machines limiting cut and paste and all that goodness.

Now I can get back into some more OPML'ing, that ABC Podcast
Directory needs a bit of updating.

If you still have troubles Amy with that file let me know and I will
e-mail a copy to you.

Cheers,

Stephen
