Thank you everyone for your replies to my question! I'm on a tight deadline, so what I think I'll do for this page is leave it as is for now, and in the meantime do some reading on layers. The client hasn't expressed any disappointment with the flicker - I'm just being a perfectionist, I guess! Peter, I'm going to try your suggestion, because I want to see what it does. :-) Thanks again, Donna -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
