Barry, I ran this site again through IE 5.5 SP2 three more times. The second pass was with my code validator and alarms went off all through the source code. Most significant is that there is no closing tag for the HEAD and some quoted strings spanning lines, a no-no for some browsers/platforms, and a lot of invalid code will also adversely affect certain browsers/platforms. I would like to mimic your setup for testing purposes when I reformat my drive with a multi boot next week.
