Hi Mike and Eric

Thanks for your input. I'm not sure I understand though what the problem
with the Javascript is. I seem to gather from Mike that he finds the site
slow. I don't understand this. My modem is old and slow (28.8), my computer
is old and slow (233mhz Pentium 1), and the pages come up within about 5 to
10 seconds and the full size pictures in about 10 seconds each. This is when
they open the first time (not from info stored on my hard drive).

My ISP is completely separate from the company hosting my site
(geographically separated by 12000km) so I am not advantaged in that sense.

Virtually any up-to-date modern browser handles javascript quickly and
efficiently without any problems. Most of the internet these days includes
Javascript.

Please let me understand the problem you are having so that I can attempt to
rectify it.

Kind regards

Harold Gess
