Thanks Rob,

It worked!

Now another question - I want to display a date on a page.
I used command:

document.write(....)

but after I put this code in function that starts "onLoad" - this code
is not working.
So how to display a date, or other string built by a function?

Thanks,

Zalek

You use something like DynWrite that is in the group FAQ. If you use
document.write after the page has loaded then it replaces the current
page with a new one.
