Mine doesn't either, but if I click anyway it opens up.

If that doesn't work it may be your browser - what browser and version are you using? Click Help > About to find out...

Not for me being able to read it.

I wonder if its an XP thing?

My system is all up to date, and I have changed the compatibility button to both settings and still no joy!

It's not a compatibility setting thing. I tried both settings in case that was the problem and it works for me either way...

Could be you have something turned off that affects it. Depends what it runs on. I'm sure Kev will know

It's just a simple Javascript hide and display, so it should work whatever you are using.

Unless you have Javascript turned off which is a very low possibility.

[spoiler]It works for me across the pond in Firefox - though there need be no button - of course you can use the quote feature as a workaround[/spoiler]

No worries, keveh, happy to be of service.

[spoiler]Seeing as everyone else is giving it a test I thought I'd do the same; I don't like to be on the outer in these things. :wink: [/spoiler]

[jaffka] Like you I use XP SP3 but I use Firefox as my browser. It works fine. I suspect that keveh has hit the nail on the head. To check what your settings are click on 'Tools' (upper right on your tool bar) then select 'Options'. You'll be presented with a window with a number of tabs across the top. Click on the 'Advanced' tab. Now you'll have a longish list of functions with boxes for ticking. A little over half way down the list you should find a heading 'Java (Sun)'. If the box is not ticked then click on it to make it so. After that, back out by clicking 'Apply' (bottom right of that window) and then 'OK' until the window closes.

You might have to restart I.E. for your changes to take effect.

It might also be necessary to select an option to permit 'active' scripting - don't be alarmed by the term - but I'm no I.E. expert. I'm sure that if it is required that someone on here will sort you out.
