Have you tried clearing your cache? Have you tried SHIFT-Reload? Do you have the most recent version of Firefox? Are you running any blocking software (spam, firewall, etc)?

Hi,
Thanks for responding. I have not tried IE I will see if that matters. I know it is not frontpage, as my own web site that is not fontpage is one of the problems.
I did update firfox and clear cahce, relaod and such. I think it is with a firewall or something like that in my program. But, I can't find anything that seems to be it.
Thanks for the help. I guess I will continue to play around when I can and figure this out sooner or later! :S

Try shutting off your firewall/ad-blockers and see if that's it (remember to reload it when done playing). Also, try having someone else go to the site to make sure it's still actually up.
Sometimes "you" didn't change anything, but someone else might have. Or the software you run might have downloaded an update which changed your setting for you.

If you're running XP Service Pack 2 the popup blocker could be blocking it.

I had a big frustration when my site host did an upgrade. They disallowed global variables from being accessed from the outside.
In my web pages I had to grab the globals from within the PHP page to use them.
Maybe something similar?

Gary,
Not sure, I will have to go take a look. Thanks for the info.

Harvey,
Well, that is something I never heard of before. I will have to do some checking on that one :S
I know I use Firefox, maybe I will try IE and see if it does it too. Then start checking other things. Luckily I haven't had to do much with this lately, but will have to soon. So, better figure it out :'-(
Thanks,
Aleta
