Juergen Thelen, terry dray,

No, you can't. With IE it is NOT possible to invoke the Ctrl+F find 
dialog box via JavaScript (as opposed to NN4).

But don't worry. What you can do, is using IE's findText() method 
instead (implemented with IE4)... :o)

Just have a look at:

msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/findtext.asp

Sorry can't make it a direct link. Seems that FAQTS handles URLs 
exceeding one line not properly. Just copy and paste it into your 
browsers address bar...

Hth, Juergen
