It's a matter of how you look at things.... these are my views and I stand
by them.(Not required that everybody subscribes to them)

I never said I was a commie or that there should be no rich people! In
life you have to learn to live with what you have... hard fact! 

But I don't believe in forcing people to do things differently for me..  
so if I ran a website I would rather serve all browsers the same content!

By your own admission... you designed such a cool script! (hats off 2 u!)
Agreed that it's not easy... but then it never is easy to make everyone
happy.

IMO you have shown greater programming skills in creating a crossbrower
dhtml script.(Personally I use client-side scripting to the barest
minimum!)

Sorry! wasn't intended as a game of one-up ! I was only expressing my
views.
