...for building even more ridiculously specific web pages. "This page best viewed in IE 6--with a wheelmouse!" The whole process of slapping in ad hoc event handlers without regard to a device-independent framework (as with the slew of HTML4 attributes "onclick", "onmouseover", &etc.) is rather ridiculous, and will no doubt come back to bite us in the future. Incidentally, this isn't new to the service pack; it shipped with IE6, according to MSDN. -- Chris Hoess
