Hi, Paul... I'm not a Javascript person either, but jQuery, of www.jQuery.com makes Javascript functionality accessible to those of us who are "JS Challenged".
There's a plug-in for just what you're trying to do..."blockUI". Check it out here: http://jquery.com/plugins/project/blockUI There's documentation, demos, etc. There's a great support list, too, [EMAIL PROTECTED], that will help you every step of the way. Check it out... I don't work for jQuery...actually no one does... it's all volunteers and the jQuery is free to all.
