>ok but I've just put together some test pages and they work in chrome IE and zetakey (thats the browser I'm running on the handheld) so what do you mean it was scrapped ?

In IE? Rob's link also lists desktop and mobile of both IE and FF as "not supported" or blank ? And that page fits with my mental picture of what should work, not that I tested a lot - are you certain your tests were valid for IE?
