Thanks, Jim, for the hint. However, it didn't make a difference. I even
turned off all the other options under the Advanced category, but the
site still killed Netscape. Oh well, it's the only page I've ever had
this kind of trouble with, and it's not important anyway, so I'm not
going to worry about it too much. Thanks anyway!
