Re: HyperText Transfer Protocol Links

If you haven't done so already, you might want to post your
question in the Internet Explorer newsgroup:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser

If you do, try to include examples of the web sites on which
this problem occurs. Go to one of the sites, copy what's
showing in the Internet Explorer address bar and paste it into
your message.

You might also want to visit this web site to make sure that
you're using the latest version of Sun's Java:

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
