And who said IE was bad

IE rocks, I love it. :-D Now if only I could find a place to download the entire IE6 service pack 1 file instead of having to update each machine separately :confused:
Deploying a web application without understanding security is roughly equivalent to driving a car without seatbelts - down a slippery road, over a monstrous chasm, with no brakes, and the throttle jammed on full.

It seems Mozilla has a few err...holes. Six to be precise. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/27934.html[^] I'm just glad I use Opera, well for general stuff, but then I use IE to read the CP forums. Saying that Opera has had a few problems recently. Can't win, can't win situation. Hey that sounds like a good name for a song, altogether everybody.... :tumble weed: : wind: I'll get my coat.:-D
So both IE and Mozilla contain bugs. At least the Mozilla people actually fix them, rather than just trying to hush up bug reports (those bugs are all fixed, as Mozilla 1.2 versions have been available for ages) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

*sigh* but where are the regression test reports for the Mozilla fixes. I imagine MS has a formal bug fixing program that spans a large number of software configurations and is therefore necessarily tedious. Can't imagine open source guys going though that process. ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

'I changed the code, it does something else now. What more do you want. And no I've no idea what it does now.' :-D I'm sometimes to quick at work - yes I've fixed it, only to find when I test it that I've introduced a new problem. I do this most often with stored procedures in SQL. I fix the select statement, so it no longer misses out those 3 elusive records in 10,000, but at the same time, the query now runs 20 times slower. Oops. The open sourcers do get fixes out quickly, but then yes the introduce new ones as well, but its not a bug realy as its just a new feature of the latest realease of some odd numbered build. But as odd numbered builds are not considered stable, the ordinary user has to put up with the even numbered buggy build. But no one really mentions this.

Hmm, just proves that engineering a complex piece of software is bloody hard open source or not. ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

Yep, when you think about the amount of stuff that has to go into a web browser today to make it fully compliant with the latest w3c specs. HTML, XHTLM, XML (DOM, SAP), XSLT....bla bla bla.

Why not take at look at the IEAK if you need to deploy on several machines... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ieak/downloads/ieak6/ieak6sp1.asp // Christian

Have you tried running:
ie6setup.exe /C:"ie6wzd /D:1"
