I have to resond to this comment..."I prefer to use crome"...I am writing this message using the chromium browser, the linux equivilent of chrome....it?s ironic...what I meant to say in this thread is that clearly the websites that I am creating in Shape 5 are not going to support IE 6, done over, goodbye,...how many ways can I say it...that being said...clearly and factually..the truth is I need to support the insupportable on this very same computer that I am creating these sites.... I am running a version of XP so that I can comunicate with my bank site and sell flights. Why? The bank requries IE 8 "for security reasons" and ironically I can use IE 6 as insecure and as it is for flight bookings...my cosolidator... but I need active -x ro use it...they have no problem supporting outdated browsers....my bank demands that I use Internet Explorer and active x...for security reasons if it werent for this I would be MS - free.....exept for my photoshop addiction.... I also have observed a comment on a Linux support site that the majority of support requests they recieve come from IE browsers using an MS operating system..ironic.....stop supporting Active X stop supporting IE 6, stop supporting ....please.... the issue is that IE 6 is not secure, it does not follow web standards... even Microsoft doesnt support it...srop supporting it...[peace out]
