So, OK, you're right, it works in Opera. The point is, *none* of my visitors use Opera, and in actual fact, almost none use anything but Explorer. My site looks like crap in Netscape 4, but I decided not to care. I first noticed the problem as visitors began pounding my script (with Explorer) . Face it, only geeks like us use Mozilla, Opera, etc.

Is there a fix for the browser that my customers use?

What I am trying to do is hide the actual URLs to protect my data, and at the same time record outbound clicks. I'm just looking for a solution.

Thanks!
