Oh, I see, so different people were getting different results because of their different Windows authentication, or lack thereof. That makes sense.
Just one more way Microsoft tries to control which browser we use. A lot of people won't even try Firefox once they realize authentication for their intranet apps is less automatic than with Windows. ...kind of like how the Terminal Services client and the Windows Update require ActiveX controls running on IE, and therefore won't work with Firefox. Most Windows users won't want to mess around maintaining 2 browsers, so they'll "simplify" to just one, and which one will they pick? ...the one that they *need* if they want to use Terminal Services, Windows Update, and/or automated Windows authentication for websites. It's criminal. ...but I digress. :-) - Vieth > -----Original Message----- > From: Shawn K.
