wow! ....language!!! language!!! tsk tsk...

I've managed to view tons of pages with and without all the bells and
whistles with Netscape and IE and the "back" button has *always* worked for
me...not exactly new age technology.

As I said before...if you design with Netscape in mind, you're pretty much
guaranteed it will work in IE. If you *insist* in designing for IE and
expect Netscape to work, then be it upon your own head. That's not to say
that it can't be "tweaked"...to work in both, but code has to be accurate
to begin with.

I don't think anyone was having a go at you personally, although I don't
know what you received privately, but I'm sure your language could use some
improvement!
