there are two search functions at the top right of this forum … one that searches the tutorials and articles here and one that searches the forum’s threads … search the top one for tutorials and the like and search the one underneath it for threads on the subject of your choice.

this is a great place to learn and there are a whole lot of really smart people here but sometimes they’re not around so always search before you post. that way you may save yourself the time of waiting for a response.

anyway … read through the tutorial to which i posted a link above and it should help you figure out how to do what you want. p.s. it will only work in internet explorer.
