Possibly the links would work if you enabled ActiveX, but I'm not
tempted to do so.

I don't think so, since the only links I could find on the page were to an

are stored.

I worked out later that the ActiveX that was being rejected was the YouTube videos.

clients demanded the password....



I think the password protected pages are the manuscripts of the books, for the benefit of suckers\\\\\\\school-board members who wish to evaluate them. I found a couple of password protect pages - welcome.htm and about.htm, but not the manuscripts.
