Many a times, this is because the script doesn't send the right content-type to the browser. Some browsers might default to HTML in this case. Some, like Firefox perhaps, try to be more closer to the standard and try to download the content instead. > I also noticed that the > new tab shortcut(Ctrl+T) doesnt work.

This might be because these plugins grab control of certain mouse activities, but that is just my guess. - Sandip _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
