Hey Ivan - it does for me! I usually use Firefox so hadn't tried it 
in Safari but it does seem to work OK in Safari 2.0.4.

The database in in Berlin so there may be delays in data reaching us 
... but there should be no difference in speed between the 2 
interfaces. in fact the AJAX one is supposed to be faster!

But anyway back to Web 2 - that's all I know about  it aside from the 
marketing blurb that tells me its the way of the future to integrate 
"web services" in "complex, Web-based application infrastructures 
with minimal development effort. "

Fred - you may well be right :-)

cheers
Linda
