Okay, thanks, I pretty much get it now. The prob is I'm just not that
familiar with php in depth. Sure, it's great, but I only use it when I
convince myself I absolutely have to because it does produce a delay in
rendering a page. While this delay is quite small, typically about a
second or less, and is not particularly bothersome per se, the glaring
white blank background displayed by most browsers during the wait is.
Mozilla seems to be the only one of the major offerings that doesn't
suffer from this anomoly.
