So, if you have a function bodyload(), and you call it from <body onload="bodyload();">, you need to place it inside <head>, as it isn't loaded if you put it in <body>. Some browsers will still run the javascript code, however it is not recommended. Tijnema -- Vote for PHP Color Coding in Gmail! -> http://gpcc.tijnema.info
