If you can make the magic happen in JS, I'd be willing to enable JS to test it out ... :-) If it works well enough, I'd consider switching the page to use it. This doesn't address the same problem with the other source/binary release files, but it's a start. Perhaps we could also keep the current page as a backup? As in, if this page seems empty, useless, or broke in your browser, click here for an alternate less fancy interface. > My 20-month old son likes "SpongeBobSquarePants" too (yes, it all > one word). I'm imagining an episode where SpongeBob accidently gets cvs write access to the flightgear project ... or even just signs up to our mailing lists ... :-) Curt. -- Curtis Olson HumanFIRST Program FlightGear Project Twin Cities curt 'at' me.umn.edu curt 'at' flightgear.org Minnesota http://www.menet.umn.edu/~curt http://www.flightgear.org _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
