The page loads instantly for me on a DSL connection.<br><br>
However you should be careful when including a URL in an email that there
are no extraneous characters included. The close parenthesis at the end
causes a page not found error.<br><br>

A few minor, but, I feel, relatively important, things on the page that
<br>
I'm working on (currently at
<a href="http://david.national-anthems.net/" eudora="autourl">http://david.national-anthems.net/</a><font color="#0000FF">)
</font><font color="#FF0000"><---------</font><br><br>
When loading the index page, or any of the anthem pages (the ones <br>
beginning with "A" are done and up), the table of contents
loads in <br>
an internal frame (thanks again to whoever it was on this list who <br>
suggested that). However, when I checked the page at work (my
<br>
day job work), it takes quite a while to load the page, and all 300+
<br>
contents of the table of contents has to have the bullet graphic <br>
loaded (part of the collapsible table of contents script I'm
using). <br>
However, this doesn't appear to be the case when I load the page <br>
from home. Both are Windows machines running Windows 98, so I
<br>
woder why my work comuter has to load those graphics, and <br>
displays the message "Loading bullet.gif" or whatever, counting
<br>
down how many t's loading from 300+ to "Done". Does it
appear <br>
this way on yorus too?<br><br>
Also, I'm thinking it would be nice to find a way to disable left-click
<br>
on one graphic only. If you go to any (or almost any) anthem page
<br>
(provided it's one of the ones that begin with "A" you'll
notice one <br>
link for viewing and one for downloading. I currently have a
floating <br>
window whenever a mouse hovers over the download button, telling <br>
people the instructions to download, so they right-click and "save
<br>
target as", rather than left click, which is probably the most
intuitive <br>
action for most surfers. If there was a way to just activate a java
<br>
alert whever that button is left-clicked, and left-clicking would be
<br>
allowed on the view/listen" button, that would be grand. (I do
know <br>
how to disable left clicks on the entire page, but not for one
button.)<br><br>
That is all. Thanks in advance.<br>
