That was my final solution as well, thanks for the reply, you mentioned IE in your reply, I had heard there was a version that would work on Linux is this so and if so where does one obtain it?

And if I can avoid having to fire up my Win2K box just to check a web page that would be wunnerful!
Back to Bluefish, have you found a way to coerce it into allowing multiple browsers to be launched from within it for testing, a la Homesite?
