Blame it on lazy programmers, but Internet Explorer call code is EVERYWHERE. I work with a user interface product that uses frames for displaying information within the program shell. We found this out when we went to do some hardening of systems used by certain users. Thus, when you get an unexpected "html not enabled" message, don't blame the project, blame the programmer for relying on the existence of certain functionality. I'm hoping that with the introduction of IEless Windows 7, this will become less and less. James McKenzie
