I never really used IE3 - I was using NN3 then, then NN4, then once
IE4 became fairly stable I switched to it for a while, then back to
NN4, then tried NC4.x, couldn't stand how unstable it was, then IE5
came out and I've never switched back other than to verify that each
new dot release of NC is just as unstable as the last.
Have you reported this particular bug to MS? 'Course, I'm sure their
answer would be the same as mine, and a fairly practical one at that -
upgrade to IE4 or IE5.
Is Netscape still fixing bugs that appeared in NN3.x, or more
appropriately, I guess, in NN2.x?
