If there was a better browser out there, I'd use it. > Im not trying to start a browser war.... just dont use document.all and > your code will work everywhere... (except NS4, but i think we can forget > that one now...) You're being a little naive here. Simply "not using document.all" does not ensure compatibility with all browsers. There are numerous nuances between browsers, and browser version that make cross browser scripting a pita, and time consuming. -- Richard Heyes Need webmail? http://www.v-webmail.co.uk
