To make a site (as complex as it is) to be compliant with all browsers (or rfcs) is, roughly estimated, 5% more work to someone who knows what he's doing (i.e. any second level programmer in India, Europa, USA (though more expensive), Australia and so on). -- http://www.uadm.com | Local and Remote Unix/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Administration.
