Just for general interest... I think MIDI is using some ActiveX controls or Dynamic HTML features that aren't compatible. DHTML is particularly hard to deal with since it allows lots of neat things, but isn't implemented the same way on most machines.
If the site was done with InterDev there might be a lot of DHTML code in there that doesn't really need to be. In any case, there's always an alternative to DHTML and ActiveX... but some things just can't be done without one or the other.

In all the databases Ive put on the web it has never been a problem and since most of them are right smack in the same field of Western Atlantic organisms Im curious. Design considerations are one thing. I had a javascript incompatibility just this summer but newer Netscape solved it. What sorts of web features does IE support that Netscape nor Mac support? Where are other such sites? How you handle things on the server is a different matter altogether and whether it's VB or C or Perl or PHP it should all be pretty much the same when you send it out over HTTP. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- David Remsen/Information Systems Division Marine Biological Laboratory Woods Hole, MA 02543 508 289 7632 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- Web Administrator / Technical Chair National Association of Marine Laboratories/www.naml.org Shark Research Institute/www.sharks.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- List proprietor: (GOMINFOEX) Website: http://www.gulfofmaine.org/gominfoex/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone:(902)426-7464 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Distributed by ICPp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) If you are a community, school group or non profit organization that would benefit from using a listserve - please contact us.
