I'm the kind of guy who considers CSS and JavaScript too unreliable with older browsers to use... I don't think I'm gonna be testing iFrames out any time soon. Plus, I *KNOW* that some users (e.g., me) configure Acrobat to *NOT* put a PDF in my browser, but open a separate application, because that's invariably the way I want to view it, flipping back-and-forth to the 'net to cross-ref with both windows open. So, even if it sort of worked, for users who don't do that, or even if I could force it to work, and not LET them open up in another window, I don't think that's a Good Idea for keeping happy users, so that ain't gonna happen either. But that's just me. Somebody else reading this thread might say "keen-o" and do it. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
