Nonsense.

It isn't when you use getElementByID for the DHTML !!!

Although I agree you can get DHTML to be cross browser it tends to get more
complicated so I tend to steer clear personally.

In other words, it's not nonsense when you use poor coding methods? Oh, I
get it... 8P

Hi AG
I've still one or two things to do yet, a home page for a start, but I lacking
imagination at the moment. I would not mind doing a little bit of movement here
with a tad of flash, but nothing that seems to go on forever without getting to
the point. Then there is the Members Area to do and about 6 restricted pages
inside it.
I've not used any templates for this site as per your previous reply, I'd like
to apply the window size restriction code to just the search pages for members
and manufactures / distributor pages. Under the Benchmarked Aerials and
Benchmarked Cables pages I've added a 'pop up' there using 'Design Behaviors'.

I've notice however that the Java Script used in the top 'menu line' hangs
funny in Netscape and Opera, but the majority will see a proper result.

I never thought that it would be this hard, still I'm happy with my first
atempt, not bad for a guy that spends his working time installing aerials and
satellite dishes even if I say so myself.
