Re: Saving from a website

NO THEY ARE NOT.

Sorry had to vent on that one.

The only times I've ever had it happen to me I've always gotten
a blank file when it's tried to save it as a bitmap and looking at the
code of the page tells me that it is not a bitmap.

I usually if I really want the pic will type the pics name into the url to
open it up into a new window... well until I found out about the left
mouse click that is.

This is indeed a glitch in IE 4 & 5, tho I don't see it so much anymore
in IE 5 then again I rarely grab pics from the net anymore so it's really
hard to say just how prevalent it still is.
