Hello again!

Maybe I'm not that good at C/P ... it won't work...

I've put the

"               <script>
                        var current_box;
                        function transition_effect(new_box) {
                        $(current_box).fade({duration: 0.2});
                        $(new_box).appear({duration: 0.2});
                        current_box = new_box;
                        }
                </script>"

(I assume that's how I'm supposed to do it?!?)

just beneath my <body>-tag and have then replaced some of the <a href>
on my page and have also changed the content of the
onclick="transition_effect('researchthemepositionbox');

Sadly, it's quite dead, I'm afraid ;-(
