Oh, that's marketing. Java was hot at the time and they decided to give the name JavaScript to the thingy. Now it officially goes under the name of ECMAScript. :-) I know, but it doesn't stop people from calling ECMAscript Java. ;-) Also, and unrelated to Java OR Javascript/ECMAScript, I've finally downloaded Firefox from mozilla.org and I'm giving it a good test run. Very nice, very smooth, nice interface, skinnable, so far it's worked perfectly, and it's got built in popup control and other interesting features. Well worth investigating, IMHO. bonni
