Re: Netscape opening IE

This is not for the general public, it is for our employees Intranet.  I =
could make them all use IE and make it the standard for our company =
browsers.  We gave our employees a choice, this could be the problem =
(smile).

I would never make my public sites IE or Netscape only, even though I =
would like to. IE beats Netscape for development features(ActiveX) hands =
down(personal opnion).

Maybe I should have elaborated further on my first post "sorry".

Sorry for this non-answer, and I'm not trying to cause animousity,
but permit me to sound off a bit....

Do you really want to "force" people to use IE (as opposed to the
browser they selected to use) when visiting the web site?  Additionally,
from an end-user perspective, I already find it frustrating to
visit a site which requires additional plug-ins even if I have
'em installed (QuickTime, ShockWave, etc).  Speaking only for
myself, then, to use another browser as a "plug-in", if you will,
when I already selected which browser I want to (and don't want to)
use seems unfriendly.

As long as I'm spouting off, :) I don't think there's any
browser-specific feature out there which proves to be the
difference between a website that suceeds and one that fails...?


Having said all that, you can ignore me if ya want to.....  :)
