De nada... =) But "trying"? To my knowledge the Mac detecting scriptlet works
fine.

Woaw! Next time you do that please have a closer look
at the Javascript first. One of the few adjustments in
<http://www.dataweb.net/~mic/anims/tap.htm> is the replacement
of '\n' for an 'a' at the ends of lines (surely I'm not the
first who did that?).

Put var (which means 'variable') a (or ejm for that matter) = '\n';
in at the beginning of the script and all a's (or ejm's) start
acting like \n's. That way you'd just have to change a few chars
instead of hundreds, in case of a bug report.

It should!  Can't test it, really. I'm taking a vacation now and am not
going to be anywhere near a Mac, a Win98 or WinNT for about a week.

It's been a while since I last visited your website, so last night
I was pleasantly surprised that you have made _so_ many animations.
Inspiring!
