Phew. I thought it was just me being stupid!!
It is a great script and delivers 90% of what we are looking for - but
when I sent it off for testing the main feedback was that users want
to click on all the icons they can see - not open, then click the
closebutton so that they can open another tip.
You have "thought out loud" exactly what we need. If you think it
might be doable in the short term please let me know. I will try to
make it work at my end and report back - but we are running close to
the deadline and I may need to change things round to appease the
powers that be.
Great work by the way and thanks for the quick response.
