Curious because I just ran that against one of my macs to see what would
happen.  Nothing.  And then I used IE for the browser.  WOW..talk about
popups.  I thought I had hit a porn site.

It is not a mac thing it is an IE enhanced feature.  Good old M$ at work.

Another reason I don�t use IE.

I use either mac safari or camino for browsers.  IE only when absolutely
necessary and I usually follow with numerous nasty grams to the webmasters.

The best cure is not to be so cheap and to spend a few bucks on a server
that doesn�t feed popups all over you.

The cost of a domain name is also cheap these days.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
