I was seeing the same behavior but couldn't tell if it was my browser or what.

Should be good now.
If not then I'll remove the food. And wait.

I thought everyone knew that!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Who said it couldn't be done?
I don't know.
But the thing is I updated the code to my project that you can read about here on CodeProject:
FreedReadR: RSS Reader Created With AngularJS (part 2 of 2)[^]
Why Should You Care?
If you like to read ComputerWorld.com, CIO.com or InfoWorld.com articles but really hate the annoying crap all around the article, then you'll like this.
You can try it very easily and I think you'll find it very cool.
Here's what it does.
1. You go to :
http://newtonsaber.com/FreedReadR[^]
2. Drop the list and choose either ComputerWorld or InfoWorld and you'll get a list of current articles.
3. Next, click on any article link that appears.
4. Now a window will pop up
5. click the Load button. ( I will explain later why you have to click load)
6. You'll read the article without any other garbage content surrouding it.
Note: other article feeds just load in a new window
Experiment
I hope you like my little experiment. I am very excited about it and will very soon update my article.
Thanks for trying (if you do).

++Nice.
Especially useful for stupid sites that put completely unrelated crap with pictures of partially undressed people, making it look like you're browsing pr0n at work.

Great comment, because I thought that only happened to me.
I hate that when you really are trying to just read an article but the associated pics from adverts are embarrassing.
Thanks for checking out my app.

Bookmarked for later, it's 6.30 in the morning here and coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

That's what this program is for. Reading the morning news (computerworld, infoworld) with coffee at the ready, without all those annoying ads.
Thanks for checking it out.

A good start.
Now do the rest of the Internet.

I want to put my branding on it in time to demo it to customers on Monday week.

Very nice. Can I get it as an app?
Did try on my iphone and it gave a 404 error. Could be difference in Firefox and Safari.

Thanks for trying my little app out and thanks for the comment.
Sorry to hear that it didn't work on iPhone. hmmm... should be straight HTML5 by the time it gets there and it does work on my Android Nexus 7 pad so that is interesting.
Well, I made a fix change that was related to some feeds coming from feedburner -- which failed with 404 --, so that might do it. I put the new code out at the same link so you can try it again if you like.
If you happen to try it again let me know.
Also, I wonder if I could convert it to a native app using cordova or whatever. That would be kind of cool.

Ok, I think I had messed up the url. I sent it in an email and it worked fine. I had a little trouble scrolling, as it wanted to scroll the entire page instead of just the diplay box. I think that problem is mostly the small screen size.
Cool app. Already bookmarked it for future reading.
==Edit==
Just tried it portrait and it works just like my desktop. Landscape is where I had the trouble with scrolling.

That was really consideate of you to try that out again and let me know. Thanks.
Also, you are right about the small size. It's kind of ridiculously small, but it was my quick and cheap and lazy way to get 'er done.
