Re: Paypal and eBay

I've now run into a similar problem with Paypal -- links from Drag N
Drop to buy magazines now run into trouble because the Paypal site now
complains about Javascript.

Does anyone have any idea how to get round it? More importantly is it
going to take long to update Netsurf to be able to cope?

thanks
Chris.
