All I need is the latest web control. My frameworks hosts the control as one of the interfaces it provides. All navigation is provided by the framework's Outlook bar and Treeview control.

Very wrong if you ask me that Microsoft allowed (encouraged) developers with VFP 6.0 to develop applications using the Web Control and now after many hours of development time invested to integrate the control into an application Microsoft now says I MUST install Internet Explorer to use that control. I would have NEVER used the control if this were the policy when I started developing this application. Many of my users are using Netscape as a browser and do not want to install TWO applications in order to use ONE application. The attraction for me to use the Web Control in the first place was it allowed me to generate DHTML output that worked in IE’s DOM regardless what browser was or wasn’t installed on the computer. Talk about classic bait and switch! Does anyone else find this WRONG?

This is the same thing that started all Microsoft's trouble with the government.... forcing the installation of IE. Does Microsoft have any ethics in regards to any company other than Microsoft?
