Hmmm. Scott,
I tried to send it in the BODY but it did not work. Tested in in both IE
4.x and Netscape 4.6. But when I put it in the HEAD section it will work.
The problem is that I want to send it onyl when a certain condition is
true. This condition can only be determined in the BODY.

Any further ideas?

Aaron.
