Default Help with Essex Archives online parish registers please

(Oh, I hate to type in the name of their website - SEAX. Whoever thought that one up?)

http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/

It says in the latest issue of Family History Monthly that Essex have put all their pre-1700 parish registers online, and some post-1700, so I thought I'd have a look to see which post-1700 registers are available, but I can't even see how to view the pre-1700 registers! When I find an entry and click on "View", it just seems to tell me the microfilm details. What am I doing wrong? I always feel so thick when using that website!

Oh, I think I was doing the right thing in the first place, it just seems that the magazine was wrong in saying all the pre-1700 registers are online now.

Well, some of them are online, but some of them have been for ages!

I've always found SEAX extremely unwieldy - and I dont' believe for a minute any archive has all its parish registers online.
