That's the way I understood the articles I was reading as well. I seems HTML5 is fairly powerful and rich in features. Read that as, you can watch videos, show gif, jpegs and such and have other animated thingys. I would also add, I bet it is going to be more secure too. From what I have read on this list and the notices I get from the US Government alerts, Adobe Flash is about the most insecure thing there is. The only thing that may beat it is windoze 95. ROFL I read about Youtube and it's testing. I have not tried it on a permanent basis but I did do a one session test a while back. I couldn't SEE any difference. I think that is a good thing myself. I'm not sure what all changes there was tho. It may not make enough of a difference for me to notice, yet. Here's to hoping HTML5 gets rid of flash, sooner the better. Thanks for the info and the fix. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?
