Designating the router as element of the "trusted zone" (intranet) again (they reportedly took it out with IE8) should fix that, or shouldn't it ?

What we apparently do not have here is cold, hard data. As you said on many other occasions, use cases need to be laid out clearly. Since this (IMHO extremely confusing) inconsistent change will be enshrined for generations to come, I am against it - unless the number of (public !) sites is so big that we can't fix that problem otherwise. > I followed their lead because I have found that speccing something that is > already implemented is more effective than inventing new syntaxes when it > comes to getting implementations.

Why can't this be part of IE compatibility mode ? -- Nils Dagsson Moskopp <http://dieweltistgarnichtso.net>
