A fellow sent me an altered version of the small one I had tried, altered by adding a whole lot of frames. I gather that it worked for him. But all that happened here was that a whole lot of frames whooshed by and sent me to the next e-mail in the in-box. So I have to agree that the Java scripted ones work the best by far. You're right. It's a shame that Mac/IBM/Microsoft Explorer are so busy competing and insulting each other that they can't see the merits of making themselves compatible with each other. NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers. -- ___ ha Here I am _/ | ,^%--- ha working on getting my |_____| __ > \ha OWN homepage to take up band width --- == -- > [_____] __>,^ llizard aka ejm | | //| | cq5...@freenet.toronto.on.ca
