Speaking of, the .mht file used for overall points appears to not be Mac friendly. Clicking on that link downloads a file, which opens in Word and just says "This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them." Class points works just fine.

.mht files only work in IE because they are a stupid Microsoft archive format for websites.  I've talked to the CCS webmistress about this and how the pages do not open in anything but IE and really should not be used in a live production site.  She said it's due to the way she receives the files from Kevin.  That said I just tried to open them in IE8 and it does the same thing as in FF, Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc.

Ack! They can't be saved in a different format or exported as a different type of file?

I tried in Firefox and Safari. Safari tried opening it in Outlook as an email.  :lmao:

It doesn't matter to me personally that I can't see it, since I'm sure I'm lost on the bottom of the list anyway, but I'd like to see how everyone else is doing. I'm not going to go hunt down legacy versions of IE to do it though.

While viewing the output in Internet Explorer I was able to Print to an Adobe file, essentially creating the file.

Everyone not using IE, and/or MAC user, please go to the Points Page on the CCS website and click on the "Download" link in the Mid-West points section.  Can you see it now?

The PDF is a empty table as far as I can see.

Hmm I tried again today with Safari and it was a table with no text.

In Safari, it opened in an Acrobat framed window inside of the Safari browser window... maybe it works for me because I have a newer, full version of Acrobat? Not sure. Might be that the pdf needs to be saved back to an older version .pdf? In Firefox, the file downloaded, and then opened in Acrobat.

On a related note: Who would I email to request a race's listings to be corrected/filled in?
