Boy - what a difference... :-| very bad... indeed!

Not sure... but maybe it's because I removed all the JS
rollover stuff and just left an image for all the "links"
(which aren't links anymore)...?!

No - our last ressort...

NO - don't give up yet ;)

Yes. I'll look it over again and send you two "difference
snippets" so you can see where I changed the code in your
test page and stylesheet. THEN please setup another test
page (as close to your original page as can be) and just
change THAT code according to the differences - THEN look
again in all your browsers (and please send me that link,
too)...

OK?

Regards,
Gerhard
