Hello Terri, Terri, I require a little more information from you. Please review your message below along with my comments .
I may be able to comment further upon doing some software testing next week and talking to the software developers.

Terri, this problem is quite possibly due to the fact that KeyWeb is still running on IE4 and certain problems are indeed encountered when attempts are made to access websites with complex functionality that is not yet supported. > 4.

Terri, Again, KeyWeb is still running IE4. This could be related to differences in how it handles HTML or how we are handling the information being extracted from IE4. > Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
