Don't get your hopes up that anyone will care, or even read. The art of efficient web site design has been lost, for the most part. No hay mucha esperanza, at least not in corporate web sites :-(
I was looking for some adjustable shunty type regulators on Linear, and found their search engine a bit of a mess, so I shot off a comment to Linear, I had a reply in a day or so, from Mistress Web.
Opera at 1400*1050 OK (brand spanking new 20" LCD!) Opera at 1024*768 OK. Opera at 800*600 and scroll appears. So, Opera and anything above 800*600 is no scrollbar.

sounds good, but I'm pretty happy with firefox, and I wont change just for one website, but I'll try another PC tomorrow, to see if there is a difference
I used it in anger today, it is better than the old one and the old one was a mile better than RS Components java script link ridden crap.
They first put up the new site a couple of weeks ago over the weekend. Was down on Saturday, new site Sunday, back to old site Monday - guess they had problems lol.
I was going to suggest something similar but haven't got around to it. They occasionally have errors in the parametric data such as the wrong GBP for an op-amp. I was planning to suggest a simple feedback option for customers to point out errors in the parametric data. They have been a few occasions when I've wondered why a particluar component wsn't showing up in the parametric search and it's been because the data was wrong. One version of the AD8045 is currently listed as 1MHz GBP when it should be 1GHz.
I'm using 1024*768 in Win2k with Firefox 2 and it looks fine. Is your text size in Firefox set to larger than standard? If I increase the text size by two steps I get the horizontal scroll bar.
Farnell's site was always better than most sites of other suppliers and manufacturers but the new version is even better. The speed increase is quite noticable.

The RS site is one of the worst I've used, the javascript links make it extremely inflexible. I was recently trying to find out what range of high (highish) voltage op-amps were readily available for a one-off test circuit, I tried the RS site and looked at the the supply voltage options (apologies for posting all the below, I'm just stunnned at how ridiculous it is):
+1.4 to +16 [2] +1.6 to +36 [5] +1.8 to +12 [1] +1.8 to +12V [1] +1.8 to +24 [2] +1.8 to +32 [2] +1.8 to +5 [4] +1.8 to +5.5 [11] +1.8 to +6 [2] +2 to +44 [2] +2.1 to +5.5 [2] +2.2 to +36 [2] +2.2 to ±22 [2] +2.3 to +5.5 [3] +2.3 to+ 5.5 [1] +2.4 to +5.5 [1] +2.5 to +10 [5] +2.5 to +12 [5] +2.5 to +12.6 [3] +2.5 to +15 [1] +2.5 to +5.5 [17] +2.5 to +6 [3] +2.6 to +10 [2] +2.7 to +10 [10] +2.7 to +11 [1] +2.7 to +12 [12] +2.7 to +15 [2] +2.7 to +15.5 [2] +2.7 to +16 [12] +2.7 to +24 [5] +2.7 to +36 [4] +2.7 to +5 [5] +2.7 to +5.25 [2] +2.7 to +5.5 [25] +2.7 to +6 [15] +2.7 to +6.5 [4] +2.7 to +8 [5] +2.7 to ±6 [1] +3 to +12 [12] +3 to +12.5 [1] +3 to +12.6 [6] +3 to +12.8 [2] +3 to +15.5 [8] +3 to +16 [25] +3 to +26 [5] +3 to +30 [6] +3 to +32 [11] +3 to +36 [8] +3 to +44 [9] +3.15 to +11 [1] +3.6 to +9 [1] +4 to +16 [5] +4 to +28 [3] +4 to +44 [1] +4.5 to +12 [3] +4.5 to +15 [6] +4.5 to +16 [6] +4.5 to +33 [1] +4.75 to +15.5 [3] +4.75 to +16 [1] +5 to +12 [4] +5 to +15 [2] +5 to +22 [1] +5 to +24 [6] +5.5 to +36 [2] +6.6 to +15 [1] +9 to +32 [1] -12 to +12V [1] 1.8 to 24V [8] 1.8 to 32V [2] 1.8 to 5V [2] 13V [6] 2.5 to 12V [1] 2.5 to 16V [1] 2.5 to 5.5 [1] 2.5 to 6 [8] 2.5 to 6V [2] 2.7 to 12V [6] 2.7 to 24V [3] 2.7 to 5.5 [1] 2.7 to 5.5V [10] 2.7 to 5V [4] 2.7 to 8 [1] 3 to 12 [3] 3 to 12.8V [2] 3 to 12V [1] 3 to 15.5V [5] 3 to 15V [9] 3 to 30V [1] 3 to 36V [1] 3 to 44 [1] 3 to 44V [5] 3 to ± 16V [3] 3 to ±18 [1] 3 to ±18V [6] 3 to ±22V [1] 3 to30V [1] 36V [17] 4.5 to 5.5 [2] 44V [6] 5 to 12V [1] 5 to 15V [7] 5 to ±15V [1] 7.5V [1] 7V [1] 9 to ±16 [1] ± 2.5 to ± 18V [1] ±0.8 to ±18 [2] ±1 to ±8 [7] ±1.2 to ±18 [1] ±1.25 to ±8 [1] ±1.25 to ±8V [1] ±1.5 to ±15 [1] ±1.5 to ±15V [9] ±1.5 to ±16V [1] ±1.5 to ±18 [2] ±1.5 to ±22 [1] ±1.5 to ±6 [2] ±10 to ±45 [1] ±15 [24] ±15 to ±18 [3] ±15V [3] ±18 [2] ±18V [16] ±19V [1] ±2 to ±15 [2] ±2 to ±18 [4] ±2 to ±18V [2] ±2 to ±20 [1] ±2 to ±22 [3] ±2 to ±8 [1] ±2.2 to ±8 [14] ±2.25 to ±16 [1] ±2.25 to ±18 [2] ±2.25 to ±19 [11] ±2.25 to ±5.5 [2] ±2.25 to ±6 [2] ±2.25 to ±6.5 [1] ±2.4 to ±8 [1] ±2.5 to 18V [2] ±2.5 to ±12 [1] ±2.5 to ±13 [1] ±2.5 to ±15 [9] ±2.5 to ±18 [6] ±2.5 to ±6 [10] ±2.5 to ±7.5 [1] ±2.5 to ±8 [2] ±2.5 to ±8V [1] ±2.75 to ±17 [1] ±20V [1] ±22V [2] ±3 to ±12 [2] ±3 to ±20 [4] ±3 to ±22 [1] ±3 to ±5 [3] ±3 to ±6 [1] ±3.3 to ±6 [1] ±3.5 to ±15 [12] ±3.5 to ±18 [45] ±3.5 to ±18V [3] ±3.5 to ±19 [1] ±4 to ±18 [4] ±4 to ±6 [5] ±4.5 to ±15 [4] ±4.5 to ±16 [3] ±4.5 to ±18 [17] ±4.5 to ±18V [15] ±4.5 to ±24 [7] ±4.5 to ±5.5 [6] ±4.5 to ±6 [3] ±4.5 to±18V [1] ±4.75 to ±5.25 [2] ±5 [7] ±5 to ±15 [55] ±5 to ±15V [1] ±5 to ±18 [9] ±5 to ±20 [1] ±5 to ±22 [2] ±5 to ±24V [1] ±5 to ±6 [2] ±5.5 to ±15 [1] ±5.5 to ±15V [1] ±6 to ±15 [1] ±6 to ±15V [1] ±8 to ±20 [2]
Numbers in [] indicate number of op-amps in that section and each link has to be followed individually. I just closed the page and decided to stick with what I'd found at Farnell I could have spent an hour on the RS site and still not found anything useful.
