Andy, James -- Thank you for the detailed replies. That's how I thought it worked -- except I wasn't sure how the animated icons were updated, but it makes perfect sense now. Makes me want to write some PHP code to further test the concept (have to resist the urge, it's 3 AM). David hasn't said anything to me yet, I'm assuming he's convinced. I'm not big on rubbing it in. ;-) Vitaliy -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
