I agree that this would be ideal, but there is no support for this kind of thing in HTML. It could be done in a Java applet, but then there would be problems for people with older browsers, and even with newer browsers loading the Java class files takes time. And of course, writing a Java applet to solve this problem is certainly a more complex solution than changing the existing HTML interface. Largely depends on the guys at ICD, I suppose... --Peter
