THIS PROBABLY QUALIFIES AS A SUGGESTION:
When I am looking at a page with many more links than display on one screen and using buttons mapped as "Next Link" and "Previous Link", I would like to see iSilo scroll appropriately as I use "Next" and "Previous" rather than what it does now - which is to cycle through the links visible on screen (ignoring those links on the same page that are offscreen).
The workaround is to use "Back" to clear the link highlight, then page down, then start using "Next Link" again. Annoying.
WHILE THIS MAY BE A BUG:
On some pages that have many links on the page and the page is more than one screen (as above) the following can occur:
If you page down so that many links are offscreen 'above' your current location and you use the "Next Link" or "Previous Link" button, the active link will cycle through those links that appear only on the 'top' screen - now out of sight. You don't see this happening, but if you click your "Jump to mark" button you can verify this behavior. Again, most pages do not show this problem. I attach an ixl for SciFi Channel that demonstrates this.
P.S. The ixl source page is designed for handhelds, but this ixl downloads lots of standard content from the SciFi site that has no links on the iSilo page. You will eventually 'fall into' this content if you keep holding Page Down. Anybody know how I can determine what pages I need to filter out for this ixl to just display the content linked from the home page?
