Can I aak a silly question??? I know, ALL my questions are silly, but!!

Why don't you use Netscape 7.0. Or Netscape Communicator 4.77??

Because I don't like Netscape.

The short answer to that is: Netscape sucks, royally. Even though they claim to be more standards-compliant than IE, they aren't, by a longshot. Otherwise, PBW would work with Netscape, which it doesn't.

(Note: NS7 might work; I haven't tried it recently.)

Fyron: I'm... really not sure what's going on here. Has *anyone* else seen this happen, so we can at least get a replication and try to figure out what might be the problem?

Could you point me to some other web sites that use a similar coding mechanism? That way, I can see if the problem is just with PBW, or if it is with all instances of that type of coding.

I haven't had any problems on PBW using Mozilla 1.1, but I almost exclusively use PBW's text AI. I only recently switched from Netscape 6.2.1, which could handle the text UI as well.

I use IE 5.5 when I have some reason to use PBW's graphic UI.

I greatly prefer the GUI, myself. The "text" Version works fine.

I have no problems connecting to the GUI PBW using Mozilla. 6 months ago it had problems but not any more.

PBW Admin Team - Thanks for the great site & Keep up the good work

I haven't had any problems yet with IE6 SP1, but I only upgraded a couple of weeks ago.

LL mentioned cookies, and IE6 has an additional tab under Tools--> Internet Options called Privacy that controls how cookies are handled. The Edit button at the bottom of the tab can be used to set cookie policy for individual websites. You might try allowing all cookies from seiv.pbw.cc.

Also, what OS are you using, IF? Depending on the OS, somewhere under File Types there's an option to always download or always launch a particular file type. You may need to go in there and set .jsp's to always open (though that could be dangerous on other sites), or at least not automatically try to save.
