Hi, No, it doesn't work with IE. Just remove the ".) at the end of the URL, and it works fine. Kind regards / Met vriendelijke groet, Sietske Hoogerhuis <[email protected]> Researching GROTJOHAN(N), STOCK, STOCKMEIJER ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: Fritsche, Juergen <[email protected]> Aan: <[email protected]> Verzonden: vrijdag 10 september 1999 14:46 Onderwerp: [GERMANKING] AW: URL problems Hi Bob and all, sorry, have no special "magic" skills! It is to say that the said URL ( http://www.worldroots.com/brigitte/occupat.htm".) is underlined correctly: ending with the "m" of htm. So every browser should (and obviously really does) ignore the " and . at the end which are not underlined and thus not perceptible by browsers as part of the URL. My Netscape ignores the " and it shows no error messages at all. Re Microsoft, I know a nice phrase: "Gates oder Gates nicht?", pronounced like the German question "geht's oder geht's nicht?" which means in English "does it work or not?" ... I don't use the IE, so I'm not able to test this. But I asked a colleague using the IE to do this, and *it worked fine*!!!
