Thanks Bob, works well now ... i feel guilty for making you forego revenue, when i can't be around the net much for some time yet .... quite out of touch with stocks, won't have a great deal to offer in that regard, maybe till next month ... but then there is the other poster who got the same effect, and there are probably others who didn't mention it, or couldn't .... yeah microsoft - the guy who made this magic box for me was at the time a netscape fan, possibly because he had a referral kick-back deal with a dial-up ISP whose system worked better with netscape as a browser ... this was six years ago ... well now he touts internet explorer, and a cable connection ... the latter is hard here, big money and ugly to install, we're some distance from the road, and it has to be dug in for the last two hundred feet to the house, as i won't have wires obstructing the view ... also, cable goes down a lot, i hear ... and then there's the ethics of the microsoft style of business, all in all i think i'll just keep using what i've got, until it breaks ... [that's the train of thought i go through every time i think about a new computer -g-] ... cheers

Hi Bob, I think that I've read somewhere that Netscape 4.7 and earlier doesn't support the current versions of Java script, so any advertisement problems are not entirely Mr. Softee's fault. Netscape recommends that their users migrate to the newer versions of Netscape (6.x and higher) where Java script can be (a relative term at best) supported and maintained. I recommend that all Netscape users (and IE users for what that's worth) also install the Sun supported versions of Java script that will "override" or "augment" the internally supplied browser software for running Java... Works for me anyway, and I run Netscape 4.7, 6.something and IE... KJC
