Gotta chuckle at your friend's naivete. IE has long been known as the *least* standards-compliant browser on the market. Microsoft seems to believe that if they do it, that constitutes a 'standard.' All I know is when something doesn't work in Firefox, which   occasionally happens, if I go to MSIE, it always has worked. Not sure why, it may be it handles *badly* written code better and Firefox is too standards compliant.  I think the problem is that a lot of websites are created using Microsoft FrontPage, which creates proprietary, standards non-compliant HTML that will only display correctly in IE. That's interesting, I always wondered what the issue might be. Of course one of the annoying characteristics of the type of code put out by these programs is that it often seems large, bloated--not concise at all. Next time the problems comes up, I'll look at source code to see. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
