IE doesn't recognize the extensions of files, which may contain some html code. Write a HTML file on NOTEPAD. save it as *.txt. upload to any server.then
It's worse than that - even if you have a cgi script that outputs a content-type of "text/plain" - some (all?) version of IE still processes the doc as html. (This is a real PITA when using cgi scripts that output plain text documents sometimes containing html.) -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: nneul () umr edu University of Missouri - Rolla Phone: (573) 341-4841 CIS - Systems Programming Fax: (573) 341-4216
