Hmmm. I am just shooting in the dark here (as if you all didn't know
that). My method for learning anything to do with the computer is "trial
and error to the nth degree". I don't really understand what you wrote
Martin. I just got e-mail from Joan saying that her fireworks animation
works in her MSIE4 and Netscape 4.

Would you people with your newfangled MSIE4 and Netscape 4 mind looking
at this revised version and tell me if it looks correct?

Thanks.


I'm intrigued by Bertrand's applet method of animation. It looks much
nicer than the Javascript versions and appears on first glance to be
easier to impliment.
