rangersfan,
1) I am not taking it away - they will simply see a static smilie rather than an animated one.
2) I would love to know how I can determine someone is using Netscape, and do "if browser==netscape then use smiliepath2" (in which case only the Netscape users will be affected).
But right now, only the "else" works, regardless what browser you have, including MSIE
