Its all a matter of MIME types. If you have the MIME type setup, then Netscape & the website(s) will not know the difference what you're using. I haven't used Netscape (of any version) in several months, so i'm not sure if you're running up against a bug or just a configuration issue. Mozilla doesn't give me any grief. I use the Codeweavers CrossOver plugin for Quicktimes, and real player for Real content. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
