Hi Hershel,

My bad! In an attempt to trim my reply, I left out the beginning of 
Andrew's reply where he stated:

"Sometimes the "dhtml stuff" as you call it, can be useful.  Like most things
out there, it is not the tool, but the application of it that makes all the
difference.  

There are a lot of sites out there that have benefited in one way or another
from careful application of these scripts.  However, I must conceed, that
the fading menu is a bit over the top  "

Sounds like you and Andrew are in agreement about DHTML having its 
usefulness for certain functions -- and I can see his point about 
perhaps not using it for gimmicky things like fading text, etc.

Sorry for the confusion,
Dan
