Hi Kim,

Salright, I figured as much. ;)

I don't realistically see myself using it either, but I do use several
searches quite often. And with how I coded it up it **could** be used
in a fashion that would make it far more interactive/functional. For
example, you can do this:
  bannerlink="vbsx gg ClipboardGetText";
...which would search google for whatever was on the clipboard when
you clicked the button. You don't *have* to have the button as 'just a
waste of space' - it could be a very useful tool. (Has anyone else
noticed my healthy obsession with the clipboard?)


In fact, I was thinking about how to make it with a dhtml image-map
that could float over the box when the image is clicked or floated
over so I can use one of several special/common functions that could
be graphically depicted. With my own setup where I've got two taskbar
rows dedicated to DQSD, it would be relatively easy to have two
different hover-areas in the logo (top/bottom) which have different
related imagemap floats. I also use DQSD wide enough to show the full
long date - so there's probably room for ~8 icons in each row - for a
total of ~16-20 "tool buttons". It could even be a table instead of an
image-map, with clearly defined borders, images and functions, that
could be user-configured using variable arrays much the same way as
the localization...

Heck with it - this just 'feels' cool, I'm gonna throw it together and
I'll post a sample later. :)

You're welcome. If you're feeling geeky you can also use:
  jsexec showpop()
...but that's probably even too geeky for you and I.
