[Javascript] Sorry, another question.

[Ben]

Oh yeah... it's written fully in document.write (the only whay to fly, you
know)... i'm having to re-write the entire page to change the color of a
word when it's clicked.

It's not as bad as it soudns tho... by 'page' I mean a small 20-30 node
tree.

6.29pm.

groan.
