Hi all bit of an odd question here. I noticed the other day that someone I work with was launching Internet Explorer via task manager on one of the PCs in our learning room. He was in the guest account (XP Home) and it seemed a bit odd as the icon for IE is on the desktop along with firefox. He seemed to be opening and closing IE while keeping task manager open. Is he using some kind of exploit to get round the blocked website list built into the router? The learning room's internet connection is not linked to the company network, it is on a 4 port router with three other PCs and goes straight to a dedicated phone line. I'm not very good with networking stuff so I'm just wondering. Tried googling but can't find the right search terms. Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Am struggling trying to find a script to open a pop up box when a web page has been updated. What I'm trying to achieve is a pop up box that appears when content is updated, but I want the pop up to disappear and not re appear until content is updated again once, the ok, close (whatever) button is pressed. I'm thinking some kinf of timer and cookie based routine, perhaps with a refresh script so the page checks the docs/pages to see if updated since last visit or if it has changed in the last 5 minutes plus. Any way of doing this using javascript only, i.e. no perl, php etc? I must admit I know nothing about javascript bar what I'm currently picking up searching various javascript tute sites. Thanks to all who reply!
