Only because I am writing something that will act as closely like IE as 
possible... there are a number of places where you can send strings in 
where integers are expected, and they default to 0.  In IE, they dont 
get an error, so I shouldnt report an error either.  Thats all.  If I 
were implementing my own interface, I would never want to do something 
like this.

Thanks for the pointers,
Brian
