Weird.  Maybe IE doesn't like the --TARGET="_content"-- tag. I dunno. • Don't

Not a big deal to me though. I really like the idea of having the ticker

I think it makes sense.  Netscape says the _content target is the main
window, IE of course, disagrees.  So when you click on a link, it creates a
window called _content - new window.  But now _any_ click (in _any_ ticker
window) will still have a target set to _content, which is the window that
now exists.  Maybe I should look into putting some browser specific code
there, but I'm not sure I know how to do that (yet)
