No, there's a method to my madness -- see below. I'll provide the
results to this list when I'm done.

Paul:
I agree, but what I want is to have from one to five items (actually
links) disappear from view in a timed fashion.
This is a game I'm designing as a web application and I want to show
the user what the computer did. You see, I wrote the original
Quarters game for the Macintosh (OS9) in 1997 (see:
http://sperling.com/freeware.php ) and now I'm rewriting it for the
web.
So, it's not some goofy web lunacy thing, but rather a way to show
the user what happened.
Thanks,
tedd
