Hi fella’s & gals,

[color=black]The piece of code that I’m having trouble with, is not very spectactular:[/color]  
[size=1][color=navy]getURL(“info.htm”);[/color][/size]

This is working perfectly in IE when I open the html-page directly from my HD, and when I view my site through localhost to check out my data being loaded from database through aspx.

It also works perfectly in Firefox when I open the html-page directly from my HD.

BUT!  
When I try to view my site **[color=olive]through localhost[/color]** [color=teal] **in Firefox,** [/color] this simple piece of code which should open a new html-page, DOESN’T work! :puzzled:  
There is simply no reaction from the browser.

Anyone know why?  
I’m not sure if it’s a problem, since I can’t test this site online yet.  
But it can’t be good that it doesn’t work on localhost.
