RE: IE 5 Crashes with Javascript and Layers

the ><center> stuff is merely adding the closing greater-than sign of the 
previous tag next to the openeing less-than sign on the next line to prevent 
whitespace in Netscape. It is usually only necessary for aligning images in 
tables, but if the parser allows tags to have attributes on different lines, 
why should this be any different? all i could find in the .js overlib file 
was that almost no lines ended with a semi-colon. i don't know if or how 
this would crash the browser, just an observation. - Cyanide_7
