Hi Allan, Oh, you mean a script you can get around by disabling scripting in IE? Or changing the agent string in any non-IE browser? I ripped one of your images with a right click in IE (attached) muhaha! Does the company realise that they’re missing out on 160,722,828 potential customers?!? (and that’s just Firefox - get the stat from [http://www.spreadfirefox.com/](http://www.spreadfirefox.com/)) Dan
