It IS a very cool idea, which is why I patented it 4 years ago: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF &d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1='5,740,430'.W KU.&OS=PN/5,740,430&RS=PN/5,740,430 I would be happy to tell you that I won't be asserting this patent, but the rights to this patent were assigned to Vignette Corp(http://www.vignette.com/). > ---John Holmes... -- JR
