[confused] Maybe it's just me today, mooks, but your picture doesn't load and the link that you posted... [confused] well, I get a message that says that I don't have access to it! :{

I'll leave you to sort that business out... and in the meantime, I welcome you to the board!

We'll be happy to offer up "suggestions" when we can see the effect that you are talking about!

nother little trick: copy the adress and paste it. Then it'll work.

I did that Erik, but I still don't have access to the document... [confused]

try adding a '?' after the url, that worked for me.

as to how to achieve that efffect, more than likely a 3D program was used in conjunction with PS

hey Squeeze..... why did the "?" work? I have never done that before and it opened when I did that

Sorry Mooks I don't know how the background was created

Ya, put a ? after the url and it'll work.

I believe the reason is because it causes the server to run a query program, which then makes it appear that the http request is coming from within the domian, and not being called from outside it.

That's my best guess anywho. [honesty]

Mooks...
Try this free plugin, it can create a 'swirling line' effect like that very well, and may actually be what that person used.

:} Man... thanks for the "tip"... that'll surely come in handy next time I'm faced with the old "access denied" message! B7
