Dear Kouraich (and others)<br>
<br>
I am sorry, but the test you ran was incomplete - please try to read
the
files located by a query. I have repeated my earlier experiment with
Mozilla 1.3.1 as well as Firefox 1.0. Viewing the site is OK, and
queries
are OK, but the documents found cannot be viewed.<br>
<br>
I think there is a basic misunderstanding: the query system does work.
But a query system that does not give access to the documents located
is,
shall we say, of limited utility.<br>
<br>
Please try again.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>

<br>
On Mac using various browsers I can search but cannot access <br>
documents. Does seem to be javascript.<br>
<br>
Welcome page says:<br>
<br>
"The ODS is a multilingual system. Therefore, it requires <br>
UNICODE-based Internet browsers, such as MS Internet Explorer 5.5, <br>
Netscape 6.21 or higher versions. For access to the ODS, please <br>
ensure that your Internet browser complies with this requirement."<br>
<br>
I try to use Safari and Firefox.<br>
