The usual reason a website doesn't work is that it foolishly detects MSIE and refuses to work without it. Most browsers can be configured to say they are MSIE, and often do as default, but most sites that check do it incorrectly in many ingenious ways, so more dishonesty is required from the browser. There are also some sites that actually require features of MSIE that don't exist in other browsers. Still, probably all that is needed is to set any of the browsers the OP uses to lie properly and completely about what it is. Someone on this list probably knows how to do it, and a Google search for "MSIE lie" turns up useful-looking results. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
