And on a Mac, where there's no such thing as a "right click" since there is only one button, it's a press-and-hold on the link until the popup menu appears. (Or possibly a control-click, as I just discovered works in MSIE 4.5 to get the contextual menu right away.) The suggestion to compress large files is a good one. ;) >(There is also the issue of ensuring the server sends the right mime >type, a subject that often crops up...) Yes, that's important too. .htaccess files are fun. :) -Walter
