TSGL: how to open small generic icons

Ed, 

Have you tried another browser? 

I don't have Firebox 1.5.07, but I do have Firebox 2.0 and it looks ok
there. An upgrade to 2.0 might be the solution.

In addition, I tried it on Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11, Opera 9.03, and
even Avant 11.0 Build 25. The page looked good on each of these. 

By the way, I do suggest that	 EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER, IF
YOU HAVEN'T UPGRADED from the IE 6 or IE 7 Beta versions, you should DO SO!

Much of the Windows XP operating system uses parts of Internet Explorer, so
you probably are using IE whether you want to or not. Since IE 7 has huge
security improvements over IE 6, you will actually make your computer more
secure by doing this upgrade.

I am trying to find myself. If you see me before I do, please ask me to wait
until I return.

I use XPPro SP2, Firefox 1.5.0.7. The site that I was on last was: 
http://www.fogdog.com/home/index.jsp
Certain of the generics when I used the right click menu, offered 'view 
image', view image in a separate windoww', more irrelevant choices, but no 
mention of plug in needed.  The above noted link was only one of several 
with the same problem. There were no red 'x's.

I already allow Java script, have Flash and Shockwave, use WMP and Real 
Player, and Adobe Acrobat 7(and some other translaters)

Is this inability imposed upon me by my cable ISP, Google Toolbar, or some 
other well-meaning overkill protector? There were no Browser 'yellow bars' 
warning me or asking for permission to display from the site.

Thanks, ED
