YMMV. This works for me as well. Now to find the culprit. The block below is the only JavaScript on the main Slashdot page: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"> <!-- now = new Date(); tail = now.getTime(); document.write("<IMG SRC=http://209.207.224.245/Slashdot/pc.gif?/slashhead.inc,"+ tail + " WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1><BR>"); //--> </SCRIPT> If I insert those three lines into a custom page on my local index page, Netscape dies as expected. I suppose we could see what that CGI program is spitting back at us, maybe I'll do that later on... -- James Bailie http://members.home.net/jazzturk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
