Although when you turn around and complain it doesn't work in FireFox and you get a user Internet explorer response it seems a bit one sided. There is no real solution at the moment, the masses use a non standard compliant browser and the masses don't really care that its not standard compliant. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
