First a reaction:
- in IE I see "Done" in the status bar but a spinning window at the top,
- in Firefox I see "Waiting for <servername>...."
But: I have detected the culprit...
I transfered the problem to WSH and then, lo behold, McAfee Virusscan
reported unsavoury scripting activity; after replying: "continue with
script", everything worked as expected.
And, of course, on my desktop I had unselected the option "Enable
Scriptstopper" a long time ago.
Sorry for bothering you with this small problem --- that has cost me at
least a day.
