[Javascript] changing graphics in new window

[Håkan Magnusson]

The client must be Windows XP running Internet Explorer 6, and the page 
must be accessed on a server. IE is (presumably) running out of handlers 
for downloading items. Watch the status bar, it will say XXX items 
remaining. But you have to press several keys at the same time (to 
simulate a real web application which cues a lot of items upon startup, 
for example)

I'm using Apache on the intranet for the testing as well.

Regards,
H
