Thanks for the offer... trouble was I took over a poorly designed project which had to be expanded v quickly.... I agree entirely .. syntax is key...... ended up restructuring the code from scratch... quicker then trying to hack the old. > PHP will roll over and die if you leave a ';' off the end of a line, but no > one claims it sucks. Don't shoot the messenger.... I wasn't blaming NS for not handling the HTMl, I just found it quite surprising that poor syntax can cause the entire browser to crash! A better comparison is a ';' missing in PHP causing the PHP engine to just shut down! As a foot note... it was a table problem.. one bug in a nested table (in an included included include file) that was causing it!! Thanks Tom
