Actually the story is about a *JavaScript* security hole in IE. Java and JavaScript are, despite the names, two quite different things. On the whole, and inevitable bugs aside, Java is much more likely to be secure than JavaScript since it was designed from the ground up with security in mind, whereas JavaScript has had security features retrofitted. -- William T Goodall [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk
