You should make the first line of your HTML document > a DOCTYPE declaration, like this: The problem is the file name. I get the same results using IE 5.0 on a Mac with the upload page. If I rename it to .html I get better results. If I add a mapping to IE's preferences to map .htm to text/html I also get better results. So, make sure your web browser is set to send a mime type of text/html for files ending in .htm as well as .html. -- Christian Smith | csmith@barebones.com | http://web.barebones.com He who dies with the most friends...
