allaciously recommend?

Sorry, that is to say... if you were not serious, and I find it hard to
believe that you were.

It could be...I know that I have to disable Proxomitron to get Google
maps...I'm sure that it is just some filter setting--perhaps something
to do with javascript. It can take some study to figger out exactly
what Prox is 'protecting' me against, but having it off for a few
minutes at Google doesn't bother me.

I suppose that some firewall config could interfere
also........Fortunately, mine is not a problem (Kerio).

I ran Firefox without any proxies. Also, Kerio is what I'm running. The
site works perfectly in IE, not in Firefox (the image doesn't show.)
However, I would never disable my firewall for ANY reason that I can
currently think of.

Nice. Frees up disk space too. However anybody know how to make the site
work in Firefox?

It works here, John. Version 1.06.

Using Mozilla (not Firefox) I originally had no images - just a blank grey
box. I had to change scripts and plug-ins settings to allow javascript to
alter images. Seems to work now. Might be similar with Firefox.

Running on Firefox / Zone Alarm + Router firewall straight from install,
no probs.

That was it. In particular, you have to allow Javascript to "Change
images". To verify this setting in Firefox ver. 1.0.6, do the following:

1. Click on "Tools".
2. Select "Options".
3. Click on "Web Features".
4. Make sure "Enable Javascript" is checked.
5. Click on the button labeled "Advanced..."
6. Make sure the option to "Change images" has a checkmark by it.
7. "OK" button your way back to the browser.

Thanks, Murray!

My thanks again to Murray. He pointed out that Javascript settings
needed to be changed. In particular, you have to allow it to "Change
images". To verify this setting in Firefox ver. 1.0.6, do the following:

1. Click on "Tools".
2. Select "Options".
3. Click on "Web Features".
