There is something in the Source underneath the "blank" screen. I have
posted it below my name.
The Alt-CurserLeft essentially does nothing more than what happens
originally. It starts to reload an Update page, shifts to the default.aspx
page and remains blank.
Ctrl-F5 does not seem to do anything either. I wasn't sure about this
command. I tried holding the two keys and watched the green bar graph to
see if it would show any progress in loading, but it didn't. The blank page
does in fact say "DONE" on the bottom in only a few seconds after I let go,
but it is still blank.
Thank you for the suggestions. Is there anything else to try and get at
this?
Steve
