Thanks. I am only taking over some sloppy development done prior to me. The
job is to get something to work, without reprogramming everything. The
client already spent a fortune for a Web site which does not function
properly.
I am not the best Javascript programmer out there, because I never really
spent a lot of time learning the compatibility issues.
Is this code MSIE-only? What would also work with Mozilla/Firefox and
Safari?
Thanks a lot for your help!
