Hmmm, no problems here but I just copied pasted the url. I do searches from the address bar all the time so I wouldn't want that disabled. Once you have powerball.com bookmarked can you turn the searches back on then still get to the url ??? --+-- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 http://www.wavijo.com

Wayne- Switch to Firefox, Ctrl-K is your friend! Jim- Focus is being shifted to the Comcast search field by javascript just before you start to type, thus you end up typing in the search field vs. address bar. I just opened the site sure enough that's what happens. Just another reason for About:blank as a startup page.

Or disable Javascript for that site. NoScript is the best extension ever. On 2/16/06, warpmedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wayne- Switch to Firefox, Ctrl-K is your friend!
