David, not to be dumb, but what is mouse over's purpose? AT least for my
purposes at this time, it's just an annoying additional amount of web page
chatter I don't need.
Remember, I'm used to working with JFW 4.02 so don't know much about some
of these new things that are now in JFW 5.1, and haven't had the time to
read up on them as JFW 5.1 only arrived on Thursday evening of this past week.
I appreciate everyone's help in trying to learn these new options.
