Yeah, what's amazing about it is that the web designers have to *deliberately* design their site so that it doesn't work in non-IE browsers. If you use standard HTML, or even if you don't know HTML but use authoring tools, it comes natural to use basic designs that work fine across browsers. You have to work *HARD* to make something that mozilla won't show. And there are plenty of great web sites out there on cross-browser issues. Any company that makes an IE-only web site has made a conscious decision to say to Linux users, "We don't want you as customers, go away." They shouldn't be surprised at all about this fact. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
