Stuart, Bryan: OK - I stand, well sit, corrected. Interesting how quickly FF was adopted. I like it too. None of the web sites we manage have much in the way of hits from any thing other the IE. But then none of them are "techie" in nature. I still check them for functionality with FF though, I just don't worry about it if soome glitzy effect doesn't work. I'm not much for glitzy to start with though!

Yep. Just have a look at the stats for DBAs website http://www.nedstatbasic.net/s?tab=1&link=5&id=2298610 IE - 52.1 % FF - 41.7 -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at gmail.com Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a great ride!" _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
