[thelist] Re: javascript browser/platform/css help needed

[Marlene Bruce]

Hi Karen,

Thanks for the help with the Javascript and the suggestion about the
style formatting. If it were CSS I'd keep each style definition on a
separate line (I'll consider doing the same here).

You'd think after 7 years I'd have gotten around to learning
Javascript by now...

Cheers,
Marlene
