The "problem" is that orientation means how the slit is, well, oriented, and "top-left" placement is just one option. I don't see how you can determine the slide-out behaviour based on just these two options unless you assume "long side slides out first". If you don't want to assume that we're gonna need another option for this. -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
