If you take a look at www.medela.co.yu the jumping cookies are very effective. The visitors noticed that first, and memorize too. And I have a situation where the form contains two subforms, the first of them contain a subform, the second subform contains two subforms! So, there are 5 subforms on the main form. And there is a need only for 1 "thread", so I displace the unnecessary "thread" with a little animation with gliding move to the very left or right side of the form. And, trust me, that is my most popular application! Ervin
