I'm doing this because i previously had no real idea of how my websites looked in other browsers. I'm wondering: 1. Mozilla looks suspiciously like Netscape, is it just a new version of Netscape, or should i download Netscape also? 2. Once i've downloaded Opera, i'll have IE, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape (if it is different to Mozilla), and MSN Explorer. Are there any other browsers i should download, or does that collection make up most of the browsers people use? 3. Mozilla DID display one of my websites quite different from IE, and prompted me to download a java plug-in but I declined because i was hoping to get the "typical" version of all these browsers, therefore simulating what "typical" people with these browsers would have. Am i correct in assuming that any plug-ins like this wouldn't be downloaded by the average web surfer? 4. Will having so many different browsers on my computer cause any conflict among them? Thanks Nicole _____________________________

Certainly check in as many browsers as you can. _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to Nicole)

Most people run with Flash, javascript, etc. but many do not for security and stability. It all depends on the sites you / they visit and whether or not it's worth it to see what's hiding... 4 - no, no problems. Although I have had a couple of hiccups running Mozilla and Firefox at the same time... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
