That's nice, but it is exactly the browser style interface I think that is
insufficient, not to mention I am a certified ABM developer (anything but
microsoft), so VB and VBScript are out <vbg>.

If I'm using a browser solution, why do I want to keep the user from going
to Yahoo, etc?  Anyway, I can already do that with JavaScript by creating
new windows and hiding the address bar.

Actually, I was making a joke about the type-ahead buffer.  It's kind of
like field exit, you just get used to having it!
