I'll try that when I go in on monday... I'm curious to see if that's it. It
makes sense. :)

That much I did know... it's actually what I thought the problem was at first.

I actually did spend time trying to do that, but I couldn't find a way that
would be somewhat reliable across browser and platform differences.

Thank you! I've been trying to write cleaner, because a lot of my projects
are "left behind" in the sense that others who know less about HTML and the
like are the ones who have to be able to make updates. Plus, when you spend
as much time staring at code as I seem to be these days, cleaner means
quicker. (Not that I don't have many messy moments.)  <grin>

Thanks for the idea, I'll let you know how that turns out....
