No problem there at all! Good work

I haven't restricted the height of the image and some animation would give greater scope for creativity!

Out 2 nite but I'll give it a whirl over the weekend. Do you have a maximum height? _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

I realise there's not that much you can do with three colours and four letters but that hasn't stopped some good work so far. _____________________________ I hope The Boss isn't reading this, ...she thinks I program everything!
