"Everything" in this manner also means, that it accepts all media types which are defined by IANA. And that's really not true for IE. The opposite is true. If IE would eat "application/xhtml+xml" we would have much fewer problems. But it denies to, it presents a download dialogue, if you serve content with "application/xhtml+xml" because it doesn't recognise this mimtype. That'S quite the opposite of accepting "everything". Presenting "*/*", IE lies. IE including IE7 in fact does *not* accept "everything". Sierk -- Sierk Bornemann email: sierkb@gmx.de WWW: http://sierkbornemann.de/
