Your IE6 is bugged, like IE6 is in general. AniDB no longer supports IE6.

I suggest you download Opera or Firefox

use a decent browser. IE isn't supported by anidb and will surely get even more broken in the future

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

I try this:

Use HTTP 1.1
Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections

And now I am able to access anidb correctly.

By the way, I never have any problem using IE to access anidb.

I couldn't access the site with IE6 until I checked "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy" from my workplace computer. At home, Opera 9 gives me no problems. I wish I could install another browser here at work, though...

Hmm, last time I checked you could simply download firefox, unzip it into a directory you can write to and then simply start it from there. So you do not need to install it.

Yep, IE sucks, and IE7 sucks exponentially worse. And now, before they even have XP working correctly, they're trying to force Vista on us.
