[Web4lib] IE6 problem

[Chris Gray]

Here's how I did it.

Step 1) Install Firefox.
Step 2) Go to "Tools | Options | Web Features" and disable JavaScript.
Step 3) Go to <http://www.mortons.com/website/htmldocs/kitchen.html>.
Step 4) Print away!

Sometimes I feel that IE and JavaScript aren't being used to help me so
much as to hinder me.
