[or-roots] HQ Online - was More on IE7

[Leslie Chapman]

Pat;

Being able to make one book out of the downloads has a lot of appeal, to be
honest I am not sure whether I have reader or what, I assume for the version
you are talking about payment is required and hence I don't have it being a
cheapskate. I have pretty much the latest whatever version is available for
freebie which is now head and shoulders above what it used to be. One of the
reasons I have an aversion to PDF is in the good old dial up days that used
to be what I had to use to access surveys from the Douglas Co Surveyors
office and after spending 5 minutes staring at a blank screen 90% of the
time I would get the message "done" and still have a blank screen. After a
couple months of this I discovered that I could always find the blankety
blank thing in my temp web pages folder, along with a lot of other stuff I
had no idea was still on my computer. (don't ever trust that "delete files"
in IE tools)

Now with DSL and a much newer version I like PDF a lot more, but still tend
to cringe when that term comes up.

Yes you are right, I just do save as. I guess that is from my experiences
with too many web sites that clicking "download" automatically takes you to
a web page asking for money. I have had that happen to me a couple of times
and when I tried to get back to the information I wanted to steal it else
wise I was informed that without ponying up I no longer had access to their
information PERIOD.

Obviously HQ us a little more liberal about that then I thought they would
be, I kinda figured trying to download their way might result in the same
thing. Also, like I babbled last night in the old IE version I could do it
on autopilot, didn't even really have to be awake, and now I hit that damn
printer icon at least half the time, my problem there is I don't mouse very
gracefully.

Now the capper; for some reason IE7 categorically refuse to reopen one of my
saved Censuses, I thought it was just I had saved it wrong when that
happened last night, just resaved it amazingly without lockup in both the
default mode, which for some reason with census is where save as stays, (i
would swear with the book pages I was downloading yesterday it held the save
as HTML web page I wanted) no matter which version I save IE7 gives me an
"unable to open this web page" but get this only for one specific census
page from LDS online index, I have three other censuses from the same darn
county saved exactly the same way and IE7 will pop those open, no problem
other than some busted links like I mentioned before. I will have to try
your PDF method though, it will probably mean revamping my whole way of
doing things and I'm not sure I'm up to that.

Thanks for the info

I moved to IE 7 on this computer as soon as the Beta came out, and had a few
problems at first, mostly to
do with my dependence on Google  <G>.  However, as to your problem, it
hasn't been an issue at all.

To make sure we are talking from the same page. I access HQ Online through
my library. The main interface
has Search Census, Search Books, Search PERSI, etc.

Going to Search Books, I put in a search term and hope for the best.
