This refers to a thread on the HTML/DHTML forum (&quot;All code on Netscape&quot;). It seems that somebody who had uploaded their page to the web could view the code in IE, but not in Netscape- in Netscape, they just saw the code. It turns out that the root of the problem was a permissions error- the chmod had been set to default, and the pages weren't set for Now usually I side with IE, but this time I'd have to side with Netscape- if the pages aren't chmodded right, they shouldn't be displayed by the browser. IE screwed up, in my opinion.<br><br>Could this be a possible security flaw? Just throwing that out there... for any further info, please read the &quot;All code on Netscape&quot; thread in the HTML/DHTML forum. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>
