Although when you turn around and complain it doesn't work in FireFox and you get a user Internet explorer response it seems a bit one sided. There is no real solution at the moment, the masses use a non standard compliant browser and the masses don't really care that its not standard compliant. worst problem with IE is that not only does it depend onversion of IE, but version of windows and resolution of screen -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html Click https://www.mailcontrol.com/sr/wQw0zmjPoHdJTZGyOCrrhg== GDsNVt6koAHN9q4VGK9fQTYujAtIg4P3+KMuEECkc+4hg== to report this email as spam to Sanctuary Housing's managed spam filter,BlackSpider.
