Mozilla displays the page fine, just leaves the "Transferring data from euclid.nmu.edu" msg on the status bar. IE6 doesn't do that. Of course, I don't see any content on the page besides quote and the nicely-done M-A YF nav bar. From looking at the source, I guess there isn't any content yet? > The page works in Opera 5 and IE 5 without a problem.

That it's working in IE and Opera compounds my confusion. Don't be confused. Neither IE5 nor Opera 5, nor earlier versions of NS, are as standards-compliant as IE6, Mozilla, and NS6. I expect a number of scripts (especially older ones) to break on the new browsers. So something that works in IE5/NS4/Opera 5 might not necessarily work in the new browsers. > Any ideas anyone? > > On a side issue, I've noticed on both my Dad's OSX mac and mine at home, > that in Netscape 6 if you type a uri into the address and then hit 'return' > or 'enter' nothing happens. Is this a bug? Doesn't seem to happen with NS6.22 on my daughter's W2K system at home. Might be specific to the Mac version, though - I know of one Mozilla bug that only afflicts the Windows version.
