As several already pointed out, the reason for this is that your server engine (let me guess: asp.net?) is serving different content based on browser/user-agent sniffing. There is a useful discussion of this issue, along with workarounds, at: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3734 I also invite everyone struggling with this issue to raise it with the makers of asp.net. That behavior is plain wrong, useless, and confusing IMHO. regards, olivier -- olivier Thereaux - W3C - http://www.w3.org/People/olivier/ W3C Open Source Software: http://www.w3.org/Status
