No problem. Despite my dire prognostications, if the case you're  
dealing with is a fairly straightforward one then it's not _too_  
difficult to get it working reliably. Personally, having done this  
(with the additional problem of supporting Netscape 4) in the past,  
I'm rather pleased that my client have asked me to use the YUI for my  
current project :-)

Although it's linked from the page I mentioned previously, I'll just  
point out that ppk also has an excellent article on this problem with  
a complete script function that looks good to me, at:

Good luck,

Nick.
