This works on IE5/Win32 (as someone pointed out).  I don't have the Unix
version or Mac IE5 beta handy to test them, but I'd venture to guess that
they work also.

I guess they got enought complaints on this to make it worth the 20 minutes
of development it took to fix :)

Say, you know what other braindead thing MSIE3 does/did?  When you hit Enter
in an edit box (when there's only one form on the page), it even gets THAT
wrong -- it submits the form without setting the value of the NAME field of
the <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON> tag to the VALUE you specified.  (Egad, those old
MSIE browsers were a perpetual nightmare.)
