Hi List,

I got a little bug in the chameleon site I built (version 1.0.4). It's
something that happens only sometimes (most enjoyable kind of bug to fix).
When the page loads for the first time, the DHTML image tends to show up
shifted roughly 250 pixels to the right. After I either refresh or
re-submit, it's mostly okay again. It happens more frequently if the
connection is slower. I was wondering if this is a known issue, and if there
is a quick fix. I suspect that it's a problem with the order in which things
get initialised. I was thinking of running a function on the 'onload' event
which forces the image in the right spot. But I'm not too clear about how
I'd actually move the DHTML image (or the DIV it sits in) without messing up
other things. Any ideas?

The site runs at http://spatial.hgm.com.au/cwcroe7/cwc2.php
<http://spatial.hgm.com.au/cwcroe7/cwc2.php> (internet explorer oriented...
sorry)

Regards,

Jacob
