That's what I needed, an example of how to do it. Your explanation
helps me digest what the script is doing too. Made the changes to my
html and works great! This was one of the last major hurdles to
overcome and now am very close to completing this project. This project
has gotten me interested in JavaScript. I will take your advice and get
Firefox and the Firebug add-on. Again, I appreciate your help!
PS -- I will post pics of the final project and share the final html
when I'm finished tweaking things.
