Yup, that's exactly what I wanted to convey. Always (or hopefully, anyways) an alternative/default way without requiring much (pref. any) browser specific stuff - the way it is now - and where used, sticking only to stuff that most browsers now a days should support (Hmm.. is js a w3c spec? ...not that MSIE follows any specs ;-). If it's not good for mainline, but could be in the future, could I create an arch repo where others could see/test it? I could then show some examples of it working, but being completely off by default, etc.. without busting the frontend ;-) Elfyn - -- Elfyn McBratney beu on irc.freenode.net/savannah.[non]gnu.org PGP Key ID: 0x456548B4 PGP Key Fingerprint: 29D5 91BB 8748 7CC9 650F 31FE 6888 0C2A 4565 48B4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBU/sgaIgMKkVlSLQRAktDAKCYPHRgln7bJS+HnfyFJvw0+fF+HgCaA4Pj z/S+j8DLf0JXaGPK1BFp5cQ= =ATmt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Savane-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/savane-dev
