Thanks drew, I'd not seen pop-up windows apart from called content, though it was IE on another machine. I note the points about tables and HTML issues. I think what interested me most is css used for the shopping basket. I'd not seen it float like that, or even kept on the visited page before. I'd wondered if it was relatively easy to do.
