	Thanks to everyone who checked my page and told me it works with
their version of IE 6. We had upgraded this machine to IE 6 because some
.dlls seemed to be corrupt and hoped the upgrade might fix things rather
than the reinstall of Windows that seems to be in order now.
	The sad thing is that the people who implemented the tracking are all
gone now and I don't think anyone's paying attention anymore. I'll
probably change everything to direct links when I have the time as the
design firm that did the site made all links that are external to the
*.marshall.usc.edu domain in the form of javascript:newWindow which has
bothered me from the get go.
Thanks again,
Greg
