Can this be done in Front Page 2000? I'm trying to implement an
automatically scrolling slide show. Its in Javascript and I'm in over
my head. I've made some changes to it and they work OK. The problem
is that when I press the CLOSE button, it closes IE. If it were
running in a separate copy of IE, then that would be fine and it would
take be back to where I was before.

Thanks for any help even if I can't do it.

Use the "Target Frame" button in hyperlink properties to spawn a window.

"blank" is a new window. But you can also name the window "frank". If you
name the window, you can then do stuff with it like close "frank" later with
JavaScript. The primary window that you did not spawn with a name, you
cannot close without the user getting a prompt.

There is also a way to name the current window with JavaScript so you can
also manipulate that... I don't recall what it is.
