Thanks. I was under the misapprehension that the providers server would automatically hunt for a valid mirror, but I find that my various bookmarks are scattered on mirrors all over the place. Also that if I do a search from what appears to be the logical starting bookmark it doesn't work, but if I do it from most of the others it does. Very strange. >as for using IE6 ... WTF ... you do realise this is essentially a web >developers mailing list right? The interesting things in my websites go on behind-the-scenes, in the PHP, and produce relatively straightforward HTML. I have avoided the well-known bugs in IE6, and think my webpages display correctly on any of the modern browsers, but as Microsoft delights in rearranging everything in every update, and making the features you need ever harder to find, I stick to IE6 for my everyday work. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
