Right. You've probably even seen it for an ftp url...works the same way for http, just not seen as often. As a side note, Opera gave me the following in a popup when I tried to click on your URL Security warning: You are about to go to an address containing a username. Username: www.citibank.com Server: a3ksd.pisem.net Are you sure you want to go to this address? This would be a nice feature for the open source browsers (some may even have it already...I'm stuck on Windows at the moment, so I can't check) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
