Hi Chris,

Man, that is odd. No, just one server for classictesla. Classictesla is 
on the Nebula server of LunarPages. I don't test with Opera. I tried it 
early in Opera's infancy but didn't like how the document objects were 
handled as far as passing data to and from.

You may want to give Firefox a try. Firefox has come a long way these 
days and I use it almost exclusively now. I'm curious if you cleared the 
cache in IE6 while still on the flat ribbon calc page? If so, that might 
explain it as it will at least have to store the page that is open 
regardless. If your seeing no ohms box, then you are looking at a web 
page that is no longer on the server, so it must be cached on your pc as 
that's the only way you would be able to even bring it up.

There should be 4 output boxes. The bottom is labeled "Winding 
Resitance" and it's unit is the Omega symbol with "m" in front of the 
symbol for milliohms (just in the event your still looking for the word 
"ohm").

If you can't figure out the problem, let me know and I'll just send you 
the files offline.

Take care,
Bart
