Paul:
What I am finding is that IE 6 continues to load and reload the two
images I use to make the animation. For whatever reason, IE 6 does
not cache the two images.
Anyone have an idea or suggestion as to how to make IE 6 play well
with caching images?
Again, the page is: http://sperling.com/index1.php (all source code
is embedded)
Thanks,
