I'm glad it works in that case, Neil, but please be advised we're still in

a dangerous ground... the JPEG rendering engine in a browser isn't the same

as the JPEG rendering engine inside the Macromedia Flash Player, and it's

still possible that some browsers may round colors down to 16-bit in a

different way.


Not saying it *will* be a problem, just that it may continue to be a

problem, that's all. (Needless to say, I'm hoping it won't be a problem....

;-)


For others following this thread, technote #13901 has more info.
