Index of Subjects Hi Doug, I was using the Lynx text mode, novice mode when I looked at your page which is how I knew that it flowed onto the second page. The spacing still gets inserted into the page in text mode even if it designed so that the link itself is not visible. We need a separate graphical page to sit side-by-side with our text page and then have our login or http visitation scripts do the redirecting. I believe David Potter mentioned it could be done this way. -------------------------- On Mon, 26 Jul 1999, Doug McCann wrote: > The test page 'index.htm' contains redirection to move graphic users to the rotating banner page.
