Internet Explorer 8 and 9 Rendering Problems

Thanks, James, for pointing out the rendering problems with Internet Explorer 8 and 9. I found the HTML setting that fixes the problem. Evidently IE 8 and 9 want the width set on the nested table containing the body of the page, even though the table is itself nested in a cell whose width is already set.

Thanks, Microsoft, for demonstrating just how highly you prize conformity to standards and backwards compatibility with your own products.

The re-formatted pages have been sent to Princeton and will hopefully be live in the next few days.

Hello,

This isn't the right location, but I cannot find a suitable method of contacting the author but through comments.

It seems some content is missing in the manual - both the page on Lock Contention, and the page on Memory and Swap have identical content (they're filled in with Lock Contention information).

The URL that seems off (as of Sept. 19, 2011): ~/unix/Solaris/troubleshoot/ram.html

Regardless - thanks for putting together a fantastically helpful resource!

I sent a pdf of Chapter 8 to Princeton and asked them to replace the main page's RAM link with the pdf.

If you like the book, please review it favorably on Amazon. If you don't like it, please don't...
