it won't if you are usingFirefox by default. Or mine wont. I have open in IE to fix this but that's just me. I just get fed up of IE bashing, there is fuck all wrong with it and those that have the problems are too dumb to fix the problems.

there is fuck all wrong with it?there's all kinds of things wrong with it.
I deal with that shit a lot. Sure you can sort of, more or less work around the problems but when you take a good look at the thing it's just a piece of willfully broken crap. Just about everything dealing with transparency is broken, event handlers are completely non-standard, inserting properties in the global object for every element with an id is brain dead and select options can't be disabled in any way, even though that has been standardized for more than a decade, just to name a couple of things off the top of my head.

just because it is nolonger working in the same manner as it used to is no reason to slag it off. It's become more proprietary, so? Work with it. There is no more proprietary software than Mozilla and people figured that out. Work with FF3 and tell me that is any easier.
I'm off to bed. I should not be defending things I don't give a fuck about, I just hate people slagging something off because it's 'de riguer'
Night night.

You have no idea what you are talking aboutThe reason firefox will not work is because M$ wants to lock everyone else out. Its called being anti competitive - all of Europe is taking M$ to court over it.
IE was stagnant for so long everyone got up off their arse and made their own products. The M$ copied the work of others and is now trying to lock other people out. Thats why firefox can't AutoUpdate windows.
IE4,5,6,7 is not very standard compliant and just by being so ubiquitous holds the the internet moving forward at a faster pace.
Please make a website or 50, then come back when you've worked out why there is so much M$ bashing. It take weeks to force IE4,5,6,7 to do what it should. And costs a fortune in development just so berks like you and middle management can keep the same shite.
If you knew a thing about sql injection, phishing you wouldn't use IE if they paid you.
