Hum. That's very interesting. I just checked it on IE6 6.0.3xxx and it 
seems to be working; could you check the Adobe[1] web site and see if 
those work for you? IE will usually generate an empty box with a 
disabled scroll bar when it encounters an object tag that it doesn't 
have a plugin for. If it works at Adobe's site then I'll need to tweak 
my code.

Yea, Firefox 1.5 or greater.

Thanks for testing this one but NS4 is dead. They have <0.1% of the 
market left.

Unfortunately, Amaya has lots of problems. If they had more developers 
they could probably come up with a nice test suite browser.

Cool! Thanks for testing all of these!
