Right. :)  I figured I'd try to solve the problem before I complicate it
with more stuff.

I would expect the same, however, Netscape isn't even loading the external
javascript file, much less tyring to do anything with it. (I tried
including a simple "alert('hi');" line at the top of the file to see if it
was getting loaded, and it wasn't.)
