Something like that was what I was trying to say, but I wasn't too sure about the details, which was why my post was a bit unclear. Thanks for clearing it up.

You could always add a link to Sun. (And Opera.)

BTW, on the subject of progressive jpegs, what happened to the "lowsrc" tag in html? I just did a few experiments and it does not seem to exist any more. (lowsrc was for loading a low res version while the high res version downloaded)
Good riddance, I say. On a fast connection, you will hardly notice it anyway, and on a slow connection I'd rather have it finish loading faster than taking longer just to show a low quality image while it's loading. I'm not a big fan of progressive jpeg for the same reason.
