    Testing for javascript!

    Ok thanks, I had a look at the headers, all it had in there was flash and xml. Is there no other way around this flicker issue, other than losing out on the side of accessibility (it's a scrollbar that is being hidden by the javascript to replace with a fancy looking one)

    HTML form into Director

    Cool, well it sends a static variable to me in IE, doesn't seem to work in firefox. But more importantly, I cant see how I am going to get the variables from director to the HTML, getnettext can send variables, but how can I get it to put them in the form boxes, and click go? Thanks so much for...

    HTML form into Director

    Sending and receiving to the HTML sounds perfect, I guess it uses the same get net text to send the info (except to the HTML instead) so will try this, but could not find any info on SW-vars anywhere? Is it javascript I assume? $swvars how it's written? Cheers for your help with this! Dan Duke
