Thankyou, I spent quite a while designing this one.

Yes, that is indeed correct, I forgot to mention that in my original
post
Apologies!

Thanks for this bit of information - I have no experience with MACs so
comments would be appreciated.

I'll put this in - does anyone else have any problem with this?

Well the lyrics are displayed when you click on the song title, the only
use of .zip files is to download sounds, because they were such large
files.....I think this is the sort of thing I need to explain in "Site
Help" when I finish it.

I must admit, you're not the first person to point this out (naughty mr
dave :) ) This will be fixed.

Is this happening to anyone else that uses IE? This doesn't happen when
I go to the site, but I'm using Netscape 4.72 so this could be something
to do with IE....Are there any known differences in the way that IE
handles MouseOvers? Sorry if I'm being thick.

Thanks for your swift reply, your comments are appreciated.
