hi,

Somebody posted a fix for this a while back, maybe search the archives. (+-
2 months ago)

recreateAll is apparently broken in this release, expect a fix in SP1.
But normally you would only want to do this in NS4 (to counter the bug) but
in IE you can also move the layers to their position again (slideTo or
moveTo).
That's better, because DynAPI.document.deleteAllChildren() doesn't actually
free up any ram, so each time you resize the browser you increase the ram in
use.

LOL, and even if he was, MS would release such a buggy browser for Mac as to
make Mac unusable on the internet.
Actually, I have a related question, does if(is.ie) specify IE on PC (as it
seems to) or IE on all platforms?
Cheers,
