(...) OK. I'm guessing that's because the detail pages have names like parts.3001.html. I noticed that IE 5.5 displays the page correctly, but the '.html' is cut off in the URL box.

(...) Nope - still just shows me the HTML source - and the .html extension is not included in the URL box. Same problem in Netscape 4.7 from different PC. If I cut an paste that HTML to a file, then I can open that file OK in Netscape. Chris (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) That sounds cool and reasonable, except that (AFAIK) the files *do* have .html extensions, there are no redirects involved.
