It does sound like it applies to any plug-in etc. so I'm probably wrong about it only affecting IE. I've subscribed to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, should be an interesting discussion! The W3C article states that Macromedia is very interested in this so Flash plug-ins must be affected too. Oh well, glad I write xhtml valid pages and use javascript and php/MySQL instead of relying on MM and M$. cheers, Mark ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
