Don't upgrade to IE 6 though, just stick with 5.5.

why? just so you don't look like you posted something then decided to delete it so as not to embarrass yrself? not a hope?  

x11 seems to have got a mild case of the excessive links, possibly contagious and caught from gooseberry clock...

I read the first link from the first post by X11 and the article says that it's a JavaScript flaw. Well, JavaScipt isn't from microsoft, it's from Sun. It's MS's fault for not following the rules from Netscape, but the language isn't from MS, it's not entirely their fault.

JavaScript was *not* created by Sun. "Java" was created by Sun. JavaScript and Java are as different as Visual Basic and C. JavaScript is a language developed by Netscape. However, none of the netscape code is in Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript. M$ has their own implementation based on the JavaScript specifications that came from Netscape. Like usual, M$ takes the specifications, scrambles them up, and spits out a shitty non-functional M$ implementation.

Another reason I don't use IE, and unisntall it from my computer whenever MS feels the need to put it back.

Oh and the bug isn't fully fixed by the microshit update.  The bug is still partially there, M$ just wants you to think its fully gone.
