Thanks for the reply Fuzzy, but like I said, IE didn't go to those sites at 
first. I played around with the settings for a while before it worked, just 
don't know what I did. I'm not alone failing to get there with IE on a PC and 
Mac (osX). The author of the web pages, sadly, doesn't see a problem here. Says 
it's too much work to change everything and begin using a different authoring 
program for the benefit of a few. If you have visited the website, you can see 
the amount of work needed to change everything. You or I could do it with a 
little effort, but for an Emertus professor in his 70s, it seems a bit too 
much. It was really an inquery for myself as a Linux + Mozilla user. For a 
couple of years I've heard and read that, "it only works with IE", with no 
explanation. Now I'm slowly beginning to understand--late as usual!

Thanks again -- d

IE is written to ignore Internet standards.

The correct thing to do is have him fix his webpages to be correct.
