As someone who's just spent a fair bit of my spare time (including numerous
week-ends such as this :-() learning Javascript, I can only hope that the
date has played a large part in this announcement?

I suppose that at least this clears up all the (Am I running in IE exception
code :-)

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. Anyone accessing Java Applets with VB script? Any issues?

Yes, it is :-)

I don't know... a global network of wireless commodes sounds like a pretty
