Re: Saving from a website

Yes this is a quirk of IE... BUT it only happens sometimes.

I myself have had the same problem but I've only had it happen on the rare 
occasion.

You should also know that if saved as a bitmap file, the file will be 
empty, The pic
actually doesn't get saved.

One way to solve this problem is the you can left click on an image hold 
the button
down and drag the cursor. You only need to drag it about 2-3mm. This will 
cause the
pic to open up in the browser by itself and you can then choose "File" 
"Save As" to save
the pic.

Mind you I have IE5 and don't know if this works with the earlier IEs.
