I'll be curious to see what happens if Jose tries again. There have been *many* changes in the JavaScript language since FF 2.X was released, aside from changes in FF itself. There are a variety of sites that won't work correctly because the JavaScript the site uses contains constructs that weren't in the language when FF 2 was current, and the site will complain because even though JavaScript is enabled in the browser, the JavaScript interpreter is too old to run the code. (I was grimly amused a while back when Google redid their code so Gmail would actually work in IE 6. I don't want to think about what sort of kludges and work-arounds that took. IE 6 was the *least* standards-compliant browser in use, and Google only bit that bullet because so many machines still used it. Subsequent changes to Gmail broke it again for IE 6 users, but by that point there were far less people still trying to use IE 6.) It's a subset of the issue that bites FreeDOS. I don't even *try* to browse from DOS. Too many things just won't work. The good part is I don't *have* to browse from DOS, and have current browsers under Windows and Linux that *do* work. ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
