This tutorial has been very helpfull to me. I am just learning JQuery and believe me this is a real help. I have a cricket bats website that I am constantly working on. I also really like Bear's scripts and hopefully I will be able to make my own very soon. Thanks again for the great post.

Thanks Bear. The script works a treat on my Cricket Bats site. It's well worth taking the time to study the how to guide.
