Thanks !!! That explains a lot, and this is a rather fundamental revelation for me. Wow, I had been developing discrete pages to allow to easy development, and then would incorporate them
into the page via ajaxian ways, while allowing me to jump to opening up pages by themselves if my dhtml ways failed in some way. Never even looked at FF until I realized one of the main users was a mac guy using FF. The way I read this, then I need to incorporate the stand-alone pages into the orginal parent page from the start, and hide/display/manipulate them inline, and do more cross-browser study up front.. Sigh, live and learn. Thank you very much for making this obvious. Not once in my days of googling problems with javascript and this issue was that mentioned or obvious. I have some work ahead of me to fix this fiasco of my own making. If there is any insight on how to bridge this issue, be it javascript libraries that take whole pages and bring them into another for manipulation being already out there, that would outstanding.

Appreciation abounds,
Bob
