SYMPTOMS
Internet Explorer 5.5 includes a feature that automatically corrects common syntax errors in a Web address (also known as a Uniform Resource Locator, or URL). For example, a Web address beginning with &quot;HTTP::/&quot; is changed to &quot;HTTP://&quot;. The browser is then directed to the corrected address.

However, the incorrect Web address still appears in the drop-down Address box, and returns a &quot;Page cannot be displayed&quot; message if you click the incorrect address.



CAUSE
The automatic correction feature of the Address box does not recognize static text, such as the data from the drop-down list.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
