"I agreed that it is slick but it does have problem with some site. I can access the same site with IE4, Netscape but not IE5. Gary" --- Oftentimes this is the result of poorly coded web sites. Many web sites check the version of the browser to determine what features are available. All too often the code looks something like the following; Is the browser IE? If so... Is it IE 2.x? If so, branch to... Is it IE 3.x? If so, branch to... Is it IE 4.x? If so, branch to... Instead of having a final case for "unknown version of IE", it will often "fall through" into the next section of code, causing unpredictable results. - Eric
