Nope, it's genuine. This is an extranet system that financial services companies will be connecting to. Did you know that Norwich Union has thousands of users still in Win3.1 and NN4.03 (so I've been told)? And some of the other insurance and mortgage companies aren't much better. Then there

The choice on how to handle any MIME type is in the hands of the downloading application and cannot be controlled by the source site. If it was not for this, it would be too easy for a site to infect any target operating system with malicious intent. Regards, Gary [that is - if you find a way

In regard to content-disposition The following RFC states (very late in the text in the section on Security) In general, the receiving MUA should not name or place the file such that it will get interpreted or executed without the user explicitly initiating the action.

And I forgot to add... By the time you could execute Javascript (and that would not be possible once the MIME type has been specified) the browser would have already decided what to do with the content (NOTE: I cannot see how you could execute any JS once you were outside of the HTML MIME

[WSG] Screen Reader Accessible Navigation Suggestions

Hi Folks, I was wondering if the group could offer some advice regarding accessible navigation for a website. I have a website that I'm working on that needs to be accessible for people who use screen readers such as Jaws. I am kind of stumped on which type of navigation to utilize since the
