Talk about speedy replies!  Thanks a lot!  Setting the variable as Anthony
said worked just fine.....I can stop pulling my hair out until the next
problem comes along.

And now, a tip to make up for that horrendously long mail from earlier....

<tip type="learning javascript">
Some people, such as myself, just can't learn a language by reading a
book.  It can help, but it won't allow you to achive "guru" status.  I
personally own three different books on javascript, and they are each good
in their own right, but none of them seem to tell me the answer to my
problems.  So what's a person to do?
Play.  Find a site with a bunch of free scripts (my personal favorite is
javascriptsource.com), grab them, and play with them.  Use books for
reference and to find out things like why one would use just a = as
opposed to doubling your fun with ==, but the experience that a programmer
needs comes from making stuff that's useful...or at least fun.

Sure, I'm not a guru, but I'm getting there :-)

</tip>

Thanks again!
Dan
