Benjamin, thanks very much for this. I know you and I were
chatting about this before, but I obviously wasn't clear on it.
thanks for the explanation and it makes perfect sense now. <smile> I
sure appreciate you taking time to read down that long msg!…
Have a great evening!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

if I'm correct in my thoughts about Flash elements within Safari?
Not really. The whole notion that Safari sees Flash buttons is
wrong. Safari sees a Flash file embedded in a webpage. That Flash
file could contain a movie, a button, a whole application, etc. But
all Safari knows is it's a Flash file. Safari hands it over to the
Flash plugin to render. When keyboard focus enters the Flash embed,
Safari hands keyboard events over to the Flash plugin to handle.
Safari can't do understand the different components of the Flash
file, it's not a Flash player, and Adobe has gone to great lengths
to ensure others can't make Flash players.
