looks ok. how are things now?

Things are running pretty nicely, thank you very much. eliminating that last one seemed to knock off a bit of browser lag, but given that my wireless connection only runs 1-2 bars out of 5 because of proximity to the router, there's not much i can do about that--already have it boosted. i think you can chalk another one up in your "Win" column. Again, thanks very much for the help.

You are welcome .
