It worked better after I removed "(the reason it looks distorted is because all \'s // have been replaced by \\'s)" That little dog looks awfully stiff though and should walk right out of the window and back in the other direction if the animation is going to be on a continual loop. Of course, it STILL doesn't work in MSIE 3.0 because of the proportional font in the window. NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers. -- ,^ llizard aka ejm ---%^^^^^^^^^^^^^ cq5...@freenet.toronto.on.ca / " " www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/
