Well, alert(main) wouldn't show anything as main isn't defined in your
current incarnation of your script. In the previous version, you had a
paramter being passed into the function (wasn't 'main', but was something
else - can't quite remember what) which is what I was having you alert.  In
this version, you're passing your parameter, but your function doesn't
expect one.  You could probably use the parameters collection to access it,
but I digress... That could be a pretty long-winded discussion.

I see your problem has been solved in the other e-mail, just wanted to point
out why you ended up getting an error for future reference.
