[David W Bitner]

Steve,

Could you or someone else perhaps elaborate a little on the swap method?
Are the .js files that you use in landview viewable?  I've noticed that
you've used document.write in javascript in order to call the applet, but
how do you change that image then with each form call?

Thanks,
David
