Wow. Yeah, that's a crappy setup. By "just a few images", I gather that you mean that the sidebar links are treated as just images, without links. Wget does not see the links, because they are embedded within HTML comments(!), which IE and other MS-only products apparently interpret as a conditional of some sort. I don't think there's really much you can do here; Wget (and Firefox) are interpreting the HTML properly; links within comments aren't links, and shouldn't be interpreted. AFAIK Wget doesn't have a way to parse links out of comments, so I don't really know what to suggest, other than to cull the links out of there, and feed them to Wget manually (say, with -i). :\ Not only will non-IE browsers have trouble with this site, but I'll bet even slightly older MSIE will not handle this site. Shame on Microsoft for making Office generate such non-standard "HTML" that isn't parse-able by anyone but themselves. - -- Micah J.
