Ever visit a website that worked like a labyrinth? I hate that. The idea I had would be to group information in what I would think to be a better fasion. Make it easier to find different things before our site turns into a labyrinth-like mess. In this sence, I kind of agree with both points. Information should be easy to find, and work with all browsers... Wait until you see my patch and then tell me what you think. -- Tom Rhodes
