Due to the fact that the clients are very slow machines, the current refresh delays that the test pages have are far too short. I cannot use the keypad with those delays.

Robbie, could you please make 10 seconds the smallest delay allowed.

As you know, the length of time that the pages flash for is at the moment far too long. Until someone comes up with a bit of Javascript to give different delays depending on whether it is a client or a normal machine, could you please change the delay value to 10000 as that seems about right.

Also, do you plan to put the function which does the flashing into an external file (I showed you how to do that)? I think it would be good to do that, because then you could change the code if you wanted without having to change each page. The function to determing of the browser is an IE client could also be put into this file.

Finally, I looked at the two test pages in griffin and they don't have any <title></title> tags. Does your program generate titles yet? If so could you please create some pages with the titles in the correct format so I can start testing my program with it.
