Opera's claims is to be more de jure compliant than Firefox. (and thus far more de jure compliant than IE). That said, I have corresponded with web masters who claim that there is no reason for them to switch from IE, as virtually everybody who uses their web pages uses IE - of course the fact that compliant browsers won't work on their pages might have something to do with it. I also use a 3270 emulator that uses Active-X with IE, and Java with other browsers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
