This should also make it easier to do things like having one button turn off another, etc, by including that in the "if"clause.
<br><br>Again; I didn't get to try the graphical elements yet so I'm not 100% sure this will work but if it would it would considderably simplify your situation.<br><br>Yours,<br>Kas.<br></div></div>
