Oh, and I should add...

I can preview in the browser (FF3 and IE7) locally without any
errors.The problem only happens when I preview within FrontPage.

The same javascript (not java) works when it's embedded in the html
file, so I don't think its a browser capability issue. I've been able
to run external javascript in the past.

The FP Preview mode is unreliable - so unreliable that it's been removed
from Expression Web. What's important is how the page works in the browser -
that's what your visitors will be using using.

Thanks Kathleen. That's unfortunate, but at least I now know that it's
not my setup causing the problem.
