However, IE and Chrome can easily do so. Question: In the page below, and considering that FF is started locally and activates the page below, Where does FF look for the needed external script files ? (The external script files are located locally in C:\SCRIPTS\ and also in C:\eml\forms\scripts\ sub-directory) ****** top fragment of html page 'eml.htm' located in C:\eml\forms\ sub-dir**** Resident Login Page ******* end of fragment ***** Here is how the page is activated by FF from within a batch file located in the C:\EML\ project sub-directory \Progra~1\Mozill~1\FIREFOX c:\eml\forms\eml.htm This batch file is located in C:\EML. Again, the script files are located in C:\SCRIPTS\ and also in C:\eml\forms\scripts\ Here is the Chrome activation that works correctly and reads the same script files correctly: C:\PROGRA~1\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe c:\eml\forms\eml.htm ... and here is the IE activation: explorer c:\eml\forms\eml.htm Both Chrome and IE work perfectly, but FF cannot read the script files and just skips by them ... Thanks, -Mel Smith (re-starting ECMAScript programming after 4 years away. What a head-smasher :(( )
