At a guess, you're using Internet Explorer on the Windows box, and it's a non-standard site, e.g uses the crap MS called javascript . if this is true you can do several things: 1. set up your browser to masquerade as IE, (Opera is probably the easiest), 2. download using windows, and the MOST IMPORTANT 3. contact the owner of the site and complain about their web page not using standard HTML coding, thereby reducing their consumer base. -- Paul M -------- Look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it.
