I need more (less?) caffeine; host.html would be replaced. As for the desirability, I think that replacing the object itself would be more natural on the surface. But, beyond what I think, it would probably require a bit of research to find the best possible solution. There are three possibilities. Either replace the entire canvas, the object location, or open a new window in a GUI. Opening another window is not likely a good idea. So, that leaves the two original thoughts. The common behavior, like IE, seems to be a good way to go. That is, replacing the entire canvas with the link followed. As it removes you from the former environment. OBJECT, when used with HTML, generally would be referencing something in some other web. (i.e. A news article that comments on a press release from some big company could include the press release as an object.) By following a link in that other web; you would be removed from the current web, and, thrust into that other environment. Perhaps some method of specifying the behavior would be prudent. ,David Norris World Wide Web - http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1652/ Illusionary Web - http://illusionary.dyn.ml.org/ <-- 02:00 - 10:00 GMT Video/Audio Phone - callto:illusionary.dyn.ml.org Page via mail - 412039@pager.mirabilis.com ICQ Universal Internet Number - 412039 E-Mail - kg9ae@geocities.com -----Original Message----- From: Braden N.
