You know, I'm as computer-savvy as anybody, but I've only just learned that you can shift-click to open new windows by reading this thread (mainly because I use tabs in preference to new windows). Forgive me if that makes me "stupid". I think perhaps you shouldn't assume *anything* about your users, period. You probably shouldn't equate a particular skill- or knowledge-set with intelligence either. -- Kevin Futter Webmaster, St. Bernard's College http://www.sbc.melb.catholic.edu.au/ ------------------------------------------ This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential.
