Sigh. BT has yet again redesigned the front-end of its online
phonebook: http://thephonebook.bt.com
Do F8 in Netsurf and admire the pretty layout of the code.
Until a week or two ago (last time I needed it) the BT Phonebook
worked fine in Netsurf. The new design is in the
big-boxes-on-mostly-blank-page style that seems the current fashion
(e.g. the gov.uk pages).
Does anybody know a current phonebook site that DOES work with
Netsurf?

Hmmm, I thought the new design was giving me no result when I search,
but rather just redisplaying the same page.
However, I again searched for my own home phone number, scrolled way
down the page, and there it was.
Tried again, searching for the person I actually want to find, scroll
down, it's blank. Scroll some more, and suspect I saw a snippet of
text. Did Ctrl-A, and, aha, it must have been white text on a white
background, for I now see text saying the number is ex-directory.
Tiresome.

All those nested divs instead of giving several styles to one div.

I think it's the mistaken belief that it is the only way to make your
website also compatible with an iPhone 4 which is only 320 pixels wide.
Hence the current crop of websites which you can read from across the
room on a monitor.

192.com works with business numbers but may require £ for private ones.

I tried that link in Netsurf & got a failed to verify certificate message.
Edge in W10 gave me a This site is not secure message.
