I can try to help, but will need to know things like OS used, browser, what exact tone is the beep (okay, I'm kidding about that) etc.

Going out on a limb are you using Opera?

So long folks!

Sign - Ditto [#ditto]

If using Opera: EJECT! EJECT! EJECT!
There are worse browsers—Internet Exploiter, Netscrape…

Try and cleanse yourself from internet explorer. Get FireFox.

It's been about 7 months since I used IE (Some think that's Internet Explorer, it really stands for "I'm Evil!) but it is Microslop Bloatware, full of security holes, and generally dangerous to the public wellfare.

Vin is right, Firefox is, right now, the best browser on the Wintel side, and probably will be on the new Mactel boxes. Unfortunately, while it is very secure and has a small footprint, and is easy to write web pages for, it is a relatively clunky and awkward browser to use—an odd mix of great features Approve [^] and awkward use.Eight Ball [8]Disapprove [V]

But for your side of the eisle, it really is the only game in town.

And get away from Ya! Hoot! if you can…
