And let other ones in. Sorry, just couldn't resist taking a swipe at IE6's insecurity.

I agree that it is wrong to do it without the visitor agreeing to it by actually making an informed choice. If I went to a site that did that I'd change it back to what I wanted and then never return to that site again!

Hi Mastermind,
That is generally considered an unacceptable practice- we might be able to help you if you wanted to provide a link the user could click to make your site his/her home page, but setting a user's home page without asking is, as Mark said, "immoral".

Welcome to TWF, mastermind.

Are you learning Java or JavaScript?

Anywhoo... I consider that immoral. So my lips are sealed.
