That would suggest that it _knows_ about Oregano (and Fresco for that matter) and not NetSurf. Changing the user-agent in Oregano doesn't make any difference. Note however that there is a horrendous load of css stuff at the beginning of the intermediate page including the comment: This file uses CSS filtering methods to fix various layout bugs. Each of the following three imported files is a separate, browser-specific CSS file that keeps all hacks out of the main style sheet. Over time, as supporting these browsers no longer remains a priority, cleaning up the hacks is as easy as deleting the @import statement below, or simply no longer linking this file from the HTML. Ugh! Why make a simple page like that so complicated? -- _ |_|. _ Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ |\_||_ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com Disclaimer: Please imagine about 50 lines of pointless clutter.
