i think David's suggestion of using the DynAPI imageButton may help me out.
And I agree with Richard in that the code that Dreamweaver creates is VERY
unreadable. I'd much rather implement something myself which is then
maintainable. This is not the case with Dreamweavers' code!
Thanks for all the help guys
Chris
