Well, it looks like you hit them both on the head... an intuitive/difficult approach, or a non-intuitive/easy approach... Personally, if you've got the time, I'd go for the intuitive/difficult approach... apart from the fact that it would best serve your customers, you'd have a neet "image-reordering-widget" you could use on other projects. :-) Just my 2 cents, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
