Don't get me started on 'browsers' ... that is yet another hot potato when it comes to public websites and keeping sites working when you have no idea if the client has a suitable browser is another problem. Fortunately my council sites keep tight control on the browser side so that NONE of their web based systems break. Heck some are STILL on IE6! That is why the likes of the Metropolitan Police are still using XP. So far when a browser update trashes the javascript the pages don't work at all so nothing can be submitted, but it is yet another mess that one has to cope with :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
