Thanks for the response.So i have an option ROM for which i am designing a
utility which will get called upon a key press.I have no control over the
browser.Which means i wont be able to design my utility screens the way i
want without changing the browser code?Because my settings will get over
written when the browser code is called to display the form.
Is there a way out of this.Thanks for your help
