I have display order options set to "Last Price" "Change" "%Change" "Todays
Total Change" "Quantity" "Market Value" "Gain" "Realized Gain" and "TR All".

Firefox does not display this correctly. Try it on IE, and you will see the problem.

Thanks, I really like FireFox better than IE, so I hope you can fix this.

I discovered the Stock Portfolio was displaying the BASIC version instead of the
DELUX version which you must download. In trying to download the DELUX version,
the reply from MSN says "You need a later version of WINDOWS or IE". I am
running Windows 2000 Service Pack 4. The DELUX version is downloadable from IE.
Is there any way to make this work on FireFox, or is this a Microsoft IE only
feature?
Thanks,
Jim Blum

Jim, is this still a problem? I'd be mildly surprised if it wasn't, but then again, I also don't think it's totally unreasonable of Microsoft to tell people to use their own browser on their own sites, and I have my doubts as to how effective a TE campaign on Microsoft would be.

INCOMPLETE per lack of response to comment 2.
