The point still remains that the site was obviously not checked in all browsers. And, yes, I was being a smart alec. I do have several browsers installed on my computer, and it just happened that the browser I was currently running is the one that would not load the page. As for why it seems that I tend to favor NN 4.x, I have no logical explaination. It crashes constantly, and I run into sites that I cannot use on it. But, I just don't really care for 6 or 7 - they are too dog-slow. Since I prefer to use Netscape for mail, I have just hung onto it until they fix the super slowness of the latest version of NN. But, when I am running OSX, I tend to favor Explorer - go figure. From a development perspective, since NN 4.x is so anal when it comes to code, I figure that if it loads in that browser, it should load in all others (although it rarely looks the same).Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
