I know of at least one intranet page that doesn't work in IE because it defaults the <button> type to button instead of submit. So Lachlan's point that some pages could be fixed could well be true - but I don't know how this compares to number of pages that could be broken. Can you point out specific cites that would break if IE changed this? Concrete data would be more useful to others than just pointing out you have lots of users. Having lots of users is no guarantee of being right and no substitute for making a case. Regards, Maciej
