I was wondering to minimize download times, what are the possibilities of getting this array on the clients computer and keeping it there? I have it on a separate page and just refence it with <javascript src="array"></script>. Would it be possible to possibly give them a text file to download and make sure they don't delete or something like that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=920565101-04062001><FONT face=verdana></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=920565101-04062001><FONT face=verdana>Thanks. </FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML><DIV><BR><br clear=all><hr>Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at <a href="http://www.hotmail.com">http://www.hotmail.com</a>.<br></p></DIV>
