Hi Mike - no, everything else is OK - I wrote the rest of the code myself !!

Actually, its quite an interesting effect. A backing page, then 2 DIVs 
positioned absolutely, on top of each other. When the button is clicked, it 
looks like a new page has loaded. I guess I could have got the same effect 
with a php page, passing variables, but this worked just as well, apart from 
the error previously mentioned.
