Thanks for all the ideas. Interstingly, I only get the problem on IE 4.0. not 4.72 an above. I wonder if Weblogic is doing something behind the scenes to mitigate the calls. Also strange is that it doesn't seem to happen all the time. When I get a minute to come up for air I'll sit down and try to troubleshoot the problem. Our application is for a very limited number of end users, and we can pretty much tell them to use IE 4.72 and higher. So I hope I'm ok on this one. I really don't feel like trying to implememnt Microsoft's Active-X solution.
