FWIW, I have JavaScript and ActiveX disabled in IE6, and
index.php loads just fine (although the logo/title at the top
doesn't display), but the index.html gives a blank page and a
security warning that I didn't allow ActiveX controls to be
used.

When I set the security to normal, both index.php and
index.html work without problems.

(IE6 on XP-SP2)

Yippie! Do I get a door prize? I got that very same error.

I'm running XP S2 with IIS 5.1, IE 6.0.290.

I found this little tidbit at Micro$oft:
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;125749>

and I found a few Googles that mention something about Power Point.

I have Power Point on my system.

I also checked my system logs to see if there was anything reported there,
but nothing.

There must be something in the PHP. Start stripping things out until the
error doesn't occur.

Thanks, but ah crap, that means it isn't isolated to their network.

I have it on this system too, but no crashes. I will have a Google on that
though, thanks.

That's the bizarre thing (or one of them anyway) -- the output from the php,
which the browser *should* treat exactly the same way, doesn't cause the
crash. None of the other pages do either, and they share a lot of the same
code. I may try it anyway, getting desperate here.

That's to be expected -- logo is loaded by an ActiveX filter in this
instance (workaround for no png transparency in IE), and the index.html has
the page inserted via object. Thanks for checking!

No errors here either.

huh? oh, making mischief eh? <g> would indeed be an extremely cynical
view - even the listed phone numbers appear to my untrained eye to be
local.

alternative to the usual even if the 'office manager' does look a little
scary.

So has png-8, but the image Nik is using needs a transparent
shadow, which can't be displayed by either gif or png-8.
