Netscape opens the plug-in ad displays the page just fine. Shouldn't this be in the FAQ? What is happening is that IE is ignoring the MIME type being sent with the file, and assuming it is an XML file as it has a XML extension. Very silly. To work around it rename the xml file to something obscure, such as pxml. Then IE will actually look at the MIME type. Regards, Ross Burton
