When I follow that link, it redirects from http://grassies/... to http://www.grassies.com/... Not sure if the same would hold true if it's called via an img tag or script. If "grassies" is the name of a server on your network, it would work for you but not for anyone outside your network. -- sarah adams blog: http://hardedge.ca family: http://geekjock.ca portfolio: http://sarah.designshift.com
