NTLDR,
Thank you for making me feel not so alone anymore

I've taken you suggestion and made it so the body tag looks like this:
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#ffffff" id="all" leftmargin="1" onload="preloadImages();"
I removed body onload part from header insert.
The rollovers function great and refresh is certainly quicker (thank you)...but in IE, its still default colors for links. ANything else that could be causing this? Do I need to give a TYPE to the LANGUAGE for the first javascript (Store hack one)?
