Do you think that our users are too dim to simply re-size their browser windows as they see fit, and instead prefer to receive cryptic jargon such as the following: >If you have not successfully accessed the FAQs, it may be that you are >operating an application that prevents the opening of a new browser >window such as a pop-up killer. To access the FAQs, please click here. that requires even more unnecessary hoops in order to get to the content? I still fail to understand the need for any Javascript hackery whatsoever. (Incidentally, after jumping through the hoops, the results are bizarre to my eye: the lower 3/4 of the window is a large blue region, with a couple of scrolling lists crammed into the upper-most frame such that their contents are hardly navigable. In fact, I can't even drag the damn frame borders to fix this.) -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
