Hello, While many will not miss Internet Explorer, I don't know of a replacement that will do as good a job for ebay auctions. Now, when I download the web page for an item, IE downloads a copy of the page, with an item description and with the url. Later, to check the auction progress, I double click on this saved page on the Desktop, click the Connect button and it connects and refreshes when I click on the bids link. However, when I tried Safari, an ebay auction page was not saved with the images, the page did not have a correct title, and later double clicking on the page just opened the page on my desktop but there was no web url at the top- just a link on my Desktop so I could not connect again to this page. What browser are people using to follow ebay auctions- a browser that downloads the page content and pictures? So far, I have found IE the best for auctions, on both OS9 and OSX. Would appreciate alternative suggestions. Thanks.'' I agree, IE has a good auction manager; however. I find that drawing eBay pages is slow slow slow, especially under OS 9 -- unless you disable JavaScript, that is. However, I need JavaScript to be active for the webmail on my ISP (SBC), & turning it on & off in the prefs is inconvenient. Netscape/WaMCom is faster, but invariably after a while in a session they to crash hard & bad under 9, needing a 3-finger salute to reboot. (Under Jaguar Mozilla-based browsers still crash, but you can still use other apps afterword, it being X .) IE crashes sometimes, but not so hard. Ah, the joys of trying to stay afloat in the modern web on 9.... I've tried Opera, but don't like it. I'd use iCab, if they ever get a final version out, 1 that deals with CSS well, & that I don't have to keep downloading over & over. ~~ Bill Art page: <http://geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
