I took Nick's comments differently. The way I understood it, the problem is that Microsoft forces you to use a scripting language to read a security article. A scripting language could have security problems. As a result, many people have JavaScript disabled for security reasons, regardless of their version of IE. I agree with Nick. It is ironic and unfortunate that MS would force users to turn on a potentially unsafe scripting language to read a security bulletin. -- Troy
