Patrick, hi
this is a bit of a beg
i've posted a question concerning this to the list, but for some reason my
server hasn't delivered it yet....all a bit odd. came across your questions
with this script and I wondered if I could ask you a couple of things?:

Eric pointed out it would only work for IE, not NN. I don't Javascript yet,
tho' clearly i'm going to have to! - did you amend the script and if so how?
I realise it's a case of adding NN browser references in, but quite what
and where is a bit confusing.

i also wondered if you got a response to the Shockwave for Director
question.

i will keep battling away at this one to work it out for myself, but your
help would be greatly appreciated - partly cos the battle could be a long
one!
