It kind of concerns about the size, I think. If it just checked the "next" item, that would have been so awesome. > Or are there pitfalls I should be aware of? The pitfall is that I don't think it will work at all. At least I haven't succeeded in doing this in the past. If you make it work, be sure to share your thoughts =] Good luck, -Xav
