I'll see if I can find one that isn't experiencing the same "behind the
wall" issue you have :)

glad this is coming out on the list maybe we can find the answers now.
i actually know that one other jaws user is seeing the same thing
with the headers. but i don't know if they are seeing the strange
landmarks. by any chance do you have a page you have found this on
that we could compare this on to see what it might be doing thanks
sorry but the page i found it on is behind a wall so big grin Lucy
