I read somewhere that most new browsers don't allow access to the status line, so I have to devize a fading alert - I have one that works on IE5.5 & not on Mozilla, but it is the newer browsers that I have to address. the status line wheeze works on IE6.

Not tried Firefox since 1.xxx. AND I hate Flash anyway. I use Flashblock at home just to speed-up Tx.

Correct link to cresby.com

Still looking for things to watch-out for in newer browsers. Any URLs that list some of the missing niceties.
