Thanks Ben, not the answer I was hoping for though :-). I've been playing
some more and if I change the doctype to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
then it works, over here
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ it describes the
doctypes and this shouldn't make a difference, or is this another quirks
mode?
cheers,
