Yes its funny watching this common scenario with large organisations.. one department is often not aware of what another department is doing until they start getting complaints from the public about something not working! ...most likely it has something to do with the browser-specific javascript quirks you are likely to come across when trying to build those fancy drag'n'drop user interfaces. Do they have an alternate way to change that photo that doesn't use javascript? ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
