I get 404 errors on those URLs.  I don't have either of the browsers you 
mention, so I could only make use of a screen shot (though I'm not certain I 
have anything that will display the PNG).

You'll have to excuse my denseness, but I'm not sure what you mean by "*in 
place*". ?

Well, I'm not going to argue with you.  Honestly, I do not comprehend the 
situation you are describing or the particular problem you are having, and I 
don't know what the advantages and ramifications of what you're proposing would 
be.
