Storm" : Well, common user interface practice is that clicking mouse-1 on a : link follows that link. : : I see your point, but I disagree the hand pointer is a bad choice -- it clearly : identifies the link as a link. I support these points. Whether one likes it or not I think it is good to follow common user interface practice if it is not too hard. I believe that is one of the keys to success. - Lennart
