That's why JavaScript is available. At this time I don't have enough time to explain exactly how to do this, but JS is the way for this. If your in a hurry and noone else in this list _has_ got the time to 'finish' my msg, try posting a msg on a JavaScript newgroup. E.g.: secnews.netscape.com: netscape.devs-javascript I'm sorry I can't help you out further at the time.
