I agree with most of your comments regarding the use of javascript on
many e-Bay pages. There's nothing I hate worse than being serenaded
by music (usually of a genre that I don't like), or being distracted by
"buy me!" cursor trails or dancing icons. Bunch o' cr*p, IMHO, and
quickly causes me to hit the "back" button to get outta there!
All I really wanna do is display my images in a sized window that's
centered on the screen. I *really* liked that javascript but, alas, the "I
love javascript but don't know what I'm doing" folks have apparently
ruined it for us "responsible" folks. (SIGH!) Oh, well!
Thanks for the comments....
Regards,
Chris
